The Community
Connections Project, a project through the United States
Department of State, brings
mid-level professionals from the former Soviet Republics
to Louisville to intern for a month with small and mid-sized businesses
and organizations.
The heart of the visitors' stay is the four day each week spent with local
businesses who graciously host them with no monetary compensation. In addition
to the internships, the participants spend one day each week attending seminars
at the LICC offices. Faculty from the University of Louisville, Indiana
University Southeast, Spalding University, and local businesses and professional
leaders conduct the seminars.
Along with the internship and seminars, the Community Connection participants
enjoy attending local cultural events and living with families in
Greater Louisville area.
