International Internship Programs in Colombia

Doing an internship in Medellin, Colombia was one of the best decisions I ever made! I met so many great people both professionally and personally, and still keep in touch with many of them today. I was able to explore things I would've never expected (like the Amazon Rainforest) and got to do it all while furthering my career and getting invaluable experience working with an organization in a different culture and environment.

I had never been to Latin America before, so Colombia was my introduction. María, the experience coordinator, was just excellent; I don't think there is anybody else better at their job. I worked at Salazar Asesores and the work culture was so down to earth and family-like, which is exactly my type of vibe. In addition, Comuna Trece felt like a different universe, and I'm a foodie, and the food scene did not disappoint. Also, Medellín really is the city of eternal spring and I was just grateful to be there all the time. I was happy. Every single person was willing to help you. It was just amazing.

Fantastic experience if you want to challenge yourself, seek out new cultures and information whilst having a paternal support behind you. The Organisation provides you a great foundation from which to intiate a living abroad experience, with your liasing support person there to assist for all your queires. More so the organisations are forthcoming with educational experiences and allow you to immerse yourself into the work culture. Colombia itself is an amazing country to be explored and by doing an internship you are given plenty of time to do so. Cannot recommend enough!
