An internship is the best way to acquire work experience in the field that you would like to work in. Cultural Embrace offers you the opportunity to gain work experience and to immerse yourself in the local culture, while practising your Spanish. Our goals are to improve your professional qualifications and to give you a different insight into the international work environment.
Our local partners have built a solid reputation in Argentina, and through their many years of experience, they have found and continue to seek new internship opportunities according to the interests and needs of our participants. Internship placements are available in Buenos Aires and Cordoba in a variety of industries.
Candidates are carefully selected based on their profiles and similarly, we recruit companies and organizations most suitable for you to develop your professional objectives. Examples of the fields that we have found internship placements for are: administration, finance, marketing, hospitality and tourism, IT, architecture, engineering, social work, education, journalism, and more.
The minimum duration for this internship program is 8 weeks. You must have an intermediate level of Spanish or higher. You will have to take a proficiency test prior to your placement, and if you need additional lessons to get your language skills up to par, we can arrange optional Spanish classes. Most internships are NOT paid due to legal visa regulations, however a bonus could be offered at the discretion of the company.
