Internships in Colombia

When choosing an intern abroad location, individuals must first consider the availability of internship opportunities, the cost of travel and living expenses, and the general culture of the country. Colombia is a country which ranks favorably in all three of these categories. With a strong, growing economy, the internships in Colombia cover a wide spectrum of fields. In addition to the recent economic success and the affordability of flights, Colombia is also home to one of the most fantastic cuisines in the world, clean and idyllic scenery, and friendly, hospitable people, making internships in Colombia even more desirable.

A Guide to Interning Abroad in Colombia

Locations

Internships in Colombia are most prevalently available in the country’s major cities. The capital city of Bogotá, also the nation’s largest city, covers a large range of industries based on its size alone. Bogotá is also the second largest city in South America, so you will certainly find an internship in Bogota that suits your interests, especially in the business sector. The capital is the hub for foreign companies within Colombia and also the center for the emerald trade business as well.

When it comes to innovative business, Medellín is a city which has recently been pushing the envelope towards economic progression. Medellin’s growing economy has sparked jobs in just about every industry, but has most notably created excellent internship opportunities in banking and finance. Medellín is home to Bancolombia, South America’s largest commercial bank, as well as several other large financial companies, such as BTG Pactual. With over thirty universities, Medellín is home to a highly educated and cultured population, contributing to the industrial success of the city.

Though Bogotá and Medellín both offer mild to hot weather year-round, Santiago de Cali’s climate is the city’s main appeal. An average annual temperature of around 77 degrees fahrenheit, and easy accessibility to the Pacific Ocean make Cali one of the most pleasant locations to live and work in Colombia. Like Medellín, Cali is a hot spot for both national and international economic exchange, because of its strong manufacturing industry and agricultural production.

With something to offer in just about any given industry, you cannot go wrong with internships in Colombia based in these three major cities.

My time in Medellin

July 10, 2026by: Dimitris Angius - Greece

Program: Internships in Colombia (Intern Colombia)

My time in Medellin was incredible from beginning to end. Before starting, I had signed up for the program hoping for a challenging experience that would allow me to achieve both personal and academic development. Looking back at my time in the country, I was able to achieve both. My internship (that focused on assessing the social impacts of green hydrogen projects) helped me narrow down a career path to pursue after I complete my studies, and the people I met and the experiences I have had while in the country will be among my most cherished memories. Intern Colombia also provided continuous support from beginning to end. In my first few months, they made sure I was properly situated in the city and familiarised with the internship. They also continuously offered events, so I'd have opportunities to go out and explore not just Medellin, but other small towns throughout Antioquia as well. These trips and events were some of the most fun I had during my time here.

Clinical Exposure, Mentorship, and Growth Through IMA’s Pre-Medicine Internship

April 04, 2026by: Victoria Slaven - United States

Program: Global Health & Pre-Medicine Internships Abroad | IMA

This program allowed me to grow as an ethical leader in my community, a leader who leads by example. My experiences at Coast General will forever shape my perspective on health care and scarce resources in healthcare settings. While in Kenya, I received constant support from the IMA staff. One specific example that stands out to me was when I was left in the lab by one of the CCC doctors. I called Hilda for support, and even though she was not working that day, she immediately sent Dr. Shaziim to support me. In the residences, the mentors would always be looking out for me, making sure I was healthy and happy as I completed the program. One specific moment in Internal Medicine that stood out to me was when I did rounds in the women's ward with Dr. Shaziim and the gastroenterologist. Dr. Shaziim incorporated my previous knowledge of HIV from the CCC into explanations to help me learn and build upon my knowledge. Thanks to their efforts to involve me in their diagnosis process, I now want to pursue gastroenterology.
