An internship in Argentina, the advantages are obvious:

Acknowledgement of the internship in your home country
Generally the internships are recognized in your home country. You will receive corresponding certificates. Please inform yourself in advance about the acknowledgement/ legalization of the internship in your home country (university, scholarship provider, international affairs office, internship office, employers, internal revenue service/office etc.). Of course we cannot guarantee a specific content, performance, duration or success of the internship. This depends on you, your commitment, your language abilities and the possibilities of the host company.

If the prerequisites of an applicant are too specific, we do have to reject his application because we cannot guarantee the fulfillment of those prerequisites.

Professional internships

Internships in all areas with direct relevancy to the field of studies or profession. Suitable for university students, graduates and young professionals.

Mandatory internships

In many curricula, internships or traineeships are compulsory as a part of the education or the study, and must be successfully accomplished to complete the education. It might be prescribed, that the internship or a part of the internship has to be accomplished abroad.

To make sure that your internship abroad will officially be approved, according to the prescriptions of your education or study, we advise you to consult the authority concerned and your tutor at your school or university. If you have any special documents or contracts from your school or university for the internship, you must bring them with you to Argentina. On request, your host company will fill them in for you.

Pre-study internships

Secondary school students, school leaving graduates and university beginners also can participate at the internship programs. Graduates use the time until they can begin their studies with a stay abroad in the best way possible. Some studies require pre-study internships which also can be attended abroad. Check out the requirements and preconditions for the approval of your desired internship abroad.

Of course the pretension on the internship of a graduate without any working experience cannot be as high as in case of an university student at the end of his studies. Also the host company can employ the school leaver only in a limited way because of his lack of experience. Therefore a pre-study internship serves to become acquainted with the daily working life in Argentina. Spanish language skills can be improved, getting an overview of the everyday life and make first experiences abroad.
