Dream Careers Costa Rica Internship Program is the premier Costa Rica internship opportunity for college students. This 8-week, all-inclusive summer experience includes a guaranteed, legitimate internship in popular industries such as Advertising, Marketing, Non-Profit, Hospitality, Theatre and Arts, Ecotourism, Real Estate Development and Technology. We work closely with you to ensure internship placement in your choice industry!

You will also have the opportunity to experience the Costa Rican culture first hand by living with local Costa Rican families, interacting with new friends in your place of business and participating in activities like playing on a soccer team or learning to salsa. Additional amenities made available by the University (Wifi, cafeteria, conference rooms, computer labs, etc.). Living near the university you will have an opportunity to interact with local university students who are in session and not on summer break and other foreigners studying in Costa Rica.

In addition, each weekend an adventure awaits you! Participants and staff are whisked off to soak in hot springs at the base of an active volcano, play in the surf in warm crystal clear waters, explore the deep green rainforests or cheer for the local team at a soccer match. Our trips give participants the opportunity to experience the great variety of activities and landscapes that exist within the country. This is ALSO the perfect opportunity to strengthen your Spanish language skills while working and living abroad!

Join us this summer and develop great friendships while living in Costa Rica - The Rich Coast.
