Internships in Mexico

As the world’s largest population of Spanish speakers, Mexico is ideal for those looking to improve their Spanish fluency while interning abroad. In addition to endless beaches and world-renowned resorts, Mexico is home to the largest metropolitan area in the Western Hemisphere, Mexico City. Thanks to the inexpensive cost of living, interns in Mexico can live in paradise and break into the business world, while experiencing all that Mexico has to offer. By joining internships in Mexico, interns can explore the nation’s rich ancient Olmec, Mayan, and Aztec culture and ruins, including one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Chichén Itzá.

One of the best things I've ever done!

November 07, 2024by: Jasmine PrestonProgram: Marine Conservation and PADI Divemaster Internship in Mexico
7

Joining the marine conservation internship in Mexico was one of the best things I've ever done! The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about conservation and the ocean and this really shines through everyday. The other volunteers were so amazing and I've made friends for life! It has been a very healing journey to come here and get back in touch with nature, as well as advancing my diving skills up to rescue level. Highlights have definitely been the turtle walk, cenote dive and my first ever deep dive at the wreck! I'm gutted to be leaving but so happy for the beautiful experience. One thing I will say is be prepared to live a basic lifestyle with much lower levels of luxury and hygiene standards you are used to! There will be cockroaches, cold showers and a million mosquitos! But it's all part of the story!

A Guide to Interning Abroad in Mexico

Locations

Mexico City is the capital and largest city in Mexico. It is known as the country’s political, economic, and social hub, making it the perfect location for internships in Mexico. Internships in Mexico City are especially perfect for those interested in gaining experience within the business realm.

Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Puebla make up the remaining major cities in Mexico where internship placements, such as journalism, marketing and public relations, and strategic branding, are the most common. Other options are also available in these cities as well, including hospitality, healthcare, community development, multimedia, and education internships.

Oaxaca, one of the safest and most culturally-rich cities in Mexico, is conversely less affluent and developed. It is home to sixteen indigenous groups (with hundreds of subgroups) and is known for its sandy Pacific beaches, abundance of ancient archaeological sites, and extraordinary cuisine. Tourism is the primary industry of Oaxaca, therefore the main focus for internship placements in Oaxaca are tourism and hospitality, with conservation options available as well.

While also a popular location for tourism, hospitality, and conservation, Cancun is much more commercial than Oaxaca. For those wanting to work in prestigious resorts attracting around four million visitors per year, Cancun is the perfect fit.
