Brazil is a country teeming with youth and vivacity. IGS has placed students in Rio de Janeiro and San Paulo. Our favorite internship was for a sports marketing student passionate about working with a professional soccer club. It took a lot of contacts, but we successfully placed him with Santos Football Club–the famed organization where Pele grew into a star. In Rio, we placed a graduate student with a leading women’s advocacy group. Located on the edge of a favela, the organization helped at-risk girls avoid falling into prostitution rings. Brazil is likewise an excellent location for conservation biology students looking to make a difference. With the most diverse habitats in the world, interns have a chance to make a measurable difference. Excursions to the Mato Grosso and Manaus provide an excellent glimpse into the world’s greatest rainforest.

experience is just ok. the housing and accommodation are just good and average and fellow people are nice. Brazil is my home country so nothing new for me. job-wise learned just enough. still would recommend it.

I initially wanted a finance internship in Singapore but my sister insisted on Brazil. I'm glad we took this internship together. What I really liked is that the mentors at work are engaging and kindhearted people. They genuinely wanted us to learn and see the accounting process step by step. We did rotations on the works there, pretty fun and challenging. Happy to be under your tutelage, Ms. Talia. By the way, I am a Finance major so this is totally helpful for me. Good work, IGS.

Sister bonding

My sister and I went to the same internship in finance. Both of us are second-timers in Brazil; but unlike before that was primarily for leisure, this second one is so much for the brains. Mr. Adams really took the time to look for a wonderful housing for us, near our workplace, and it is just adorable. My Instagram feed is now bombarded with so much new photos and my sister and I bonded so much!
