Description

Gain international work experience, improve your Spanish, and experience life in South America through World Endeavors' Internship in Chile program. Interns live in the charming city of Vina del Mar, Chile, nicknamed "la Ciudad Jardin," or "the Garden City." Vina del Mar and nearby Valparaiso make up the second largest urban area in the country, and the two cities offer great internship placements in a wide range of fields. Their location just south of the capital city of Santiago and just north of Chile's famous wine country make them an ideal base for exploring the country.

Vina del Mar is a beautiful resort area home to some of Chile's best-known beaches. Valparaiso, located only a few minutes away, is one of Chile's most unique cities, squeezed between the mountains and the ocean. Its steep, narrow cobblestone streets and colorful Victorian buildings are fun to explore and offer great views of the city and the coast.

A wide variety of internship placements are available, including:

- International Business
- Winemaking
- Journalism
- Law
- Government
- Social Services
- Engineering
- Accounting
- Marketing
- Education
- Film
- Human Resources

Highlights

Vina del Mar makes a great base for exploring all that Chile has to offer. Its location an hour and a half from Santiago makes getting to know the capital city's museums, neighborhoods, and historical sites easy. Chile's wine country, home to some of the most up and coming vineyards in the world, is just to the south of Viña del Mar.

* Spanish language training

To prepare interns for Spanish-language placements and to enhance their cultural experience in Chile, the internship in Chile program also offers the benefit of Spanish language training throughout the internship. Interns will take classes from experienced Spanish teachers in small class settings for 1.5 hours per day, 5 days a week.

Qualifications

Participants must be 18 years old or older to be eligible. A minimum of intermediate Spanish language proficiency is also required for most placements. Previous experience or coursework in your internship field is desirable, but not required.
