First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleksandr Korniyenko congratulated the participants of the internship on the beginning of the program and expressed confidence that some of them may become colleagues of the next convocation of People's Deputies in a few years. "Our internship program is a real social elevator," he said.
According to him, access of young people to career opportunities is important, in particular in the field of civil service and public administration. "Any system of public administration, no matter how stable, needs renewal, new staff and ideas," he said.
This year, the interns of the 27th Internship Program in the Secretariat of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine are 53 people who will work for six months in the Secretariats of Committees and departments of the Secretariat of the Ukrainian Parliament.
During this time, interns will be involved in drafting bills, organizing public hearings, various roundtables, and professional discussions.
Special attention is always paid to the training of Program participants - during their internship they will learn the basics of law, study the Rules of Procedure of the Verkhovna Rada, the Constitution, public policy analysis, and will attend exclusive courses and lectures and trainings from leading experts in various fields. Meetings with people's deputies, politicians and public figures, scientists, etc. will promote the development of interns' leadership potential.
