Participants will assist with development in different types of partnerships including local, national, and foreign project-based work. Possible tasks include drafting newsletters, creating blog articles, assisting with websites, releasing press statements, covering events, and researching international cooperations. Through an internship with Mente Argentina, participants will build their resume and gain insight into international business.

Participants also have the ability to enroll in Spanish language courses to get a better idea of business vocabulary and common phrases.

Institute for Global Studies offers internship placements, which involve the following tracks, in the field of Politics and Government in several destinations worldwide: Track One: Work for a political advocacy group. Lobbyists come in all shapes and sizes. We aim to match students with organizations they support. Lobbyists imbed themselves in the halls of power and use their connections to enact change or maintain the status quo. Advocates master the art of “getting the word out” and understand how political spin can shape issues. Track Two: Cover politics for a community newspaper. City Pages newspapers lean left and provide coverage and commentary on a host of issues that affect their community. Past IGS students have been assigned field topics on divisive political issues and have had their work published. Whether you are interviewing a local politician or covering a protest, you have a chance to be in the heart of it all. Track Three: Promote a political candidate. Join the campaign trail and lend your support to a candidate. IGS students have assisted candidates both in the United States and abroad in their quest for leadership.

Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina and is located on the shore of the Río de la Plata. It is one of Latin America's most important ports and populous cities. This grand city with wide avenues and a vibrant cosmopolitan flair is seen as more European than Latin American. Its energy and bustle are most evident in the city's center, an epicenter of entertainment, shopping, and café culture. It is built on the original colonial foundations of the Spanish people. This center serves as the location for many and most financial institutions and corporate headquarters. New for Spring 2024: Come study in Argentina's vibrant and exciting capital city, Buenos Aires! Students will enroll in coursework at Universidad de Belgrano, with a concentration on Spanish language and Latin American studies. This program is especially good for Spanish minors and majors, as most courses offered are the building blocks of those degrees. Enjoy excursions to Tigre, La Plata, and Estancia!

Do impactful work and gain career-advancing skills. Learn from thoughtful mentors who care. Connect with a new culture. Build a global network. Our in-person and remote internship programs are carefully planned and thoughtfully implemented. We are with you every step of the way to ensure that your professional experience is meaningful and that you are culturally immersed in Argentina and Uruguay. The Puentes program provides a comprehensive professional and cultural immersion experience in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Montevideo, Uruguay, or remotely. The internship is eight weeks, with in-person participants arriving on the Thursday prior to the internship start date and departing on the Saturday after the internship concludes. In today’s hybrid work culture, some internships may be conducted entirely in person, while others may offer a combination of in-person and virtual work. From Puentes, we set the expectation that an in-person internship will have at least 2 to 3 days per week of work take place in person at the company’s office and/or at a co-working space where the company meets.
