Public Policy Student Intern:
“I’m working as a policy secretary of assemblywoman Soon-ja Park, where I have two major responsibilities. First, I’m working on the inspection of 62 institutions under the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy. This involves checking their annual operations, project results including annual budget and accounts, finding mistakes and suggesting corrections. My second project involves an audit of budgets and accounts of all 39 ministries in Korea. I'm enjoying my work and do my best with a great sense of duty, even if it means working 15-hour days.”
