INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM-2019    September 24, 2018
While on a current visit to Australia, international internship program coordinator Vladimir F. Donskoy met with the leaders of Australian Rotary and administrators of the University of Adelaide and Deakin University. It was agreed upon hosting SASM students in Australia, USA and Canada in July 2019. The goal is to expose our undergraduates to ethical business and immerse them in business culture of these countries.




INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIP-2018    September 4, 2018
In early August 2018, 9 undergraduates at the Baikal International Business School successfully completed a four-week internship with selected companies of Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The internship was co-sponsored by Baikal-Eco Irkutsk Rotary club and coordinated by PDG Vladimir. F. Donskoy.
The objective is to expose business students to business practices in a western democracy under Rotary oversight and let them learn first-hand how what they have read in books is put into practice.
The students have had a unique opportunity of getting exposed to ethical business practices in the free market economies of the above countries. Moreover, they got immersed to volunteering and social responsibility in action.
This internship is a part of a unique undergraduate English language business program for students, a joint educational project of the ISU, Russia, and UMUC (USA) on the one hand, and formally, the University of Southern Queensland (Australia) on the other. Our students attend two years of the Russian program where they take an intensive English language course in addition to the normal business curriculum in Russian language. If, after two years, they pass the proficiency test in English as a foreign language (EFL), they are admitted to the international portion of the program. After two years students earn a Bachelor`s degree in Management from both universities. This program is widely recognized as one of the premier educational program in the Russian Federation. Within a few years, many of our graduates rise to senior positions in local businesses and governments.
As always, our students were home-hosted by Rotarians who secured hands-on-training and exposed them to the ''secrets'' of running a business. Businesses ranged from whatever recognized small, mid-sized and large companies to civic institutions.
Both for the students and hosts the internship was a test of their social and cross-cultural skills: sociability, adaptability, persistence, broad-mindedness, freedom of stereotypes and preconceived notions and, what is even more important, awareness of and respect for their own and other cultures.
