Program description: |
|
|
Teaching English, Graphic Design, Marketing, Social Work, International Business, Engineering are just a few sectors to choose from in our Intern in Chile program. This is an independent program whereby candidates gain real international work experience while immersing themselves in another culture. Start dates are the first Monday of each month and we place year round.
Adelante provides low cost internship programs in Viña del Mar, Chile, with a focus on cultural immersion and real-life experience in an international setting. This program is for independent-minded people looking for a real living abroad experience. Airport pickup, orientation, housing, Spanish classes and internship placement all included in the program fee.
The program begins with a three week intensive Spanish course with local Chilean teachers. Candidates will then participate in a 4 hour a day internship in a small to mid-sized, Chilean-run company or organisation. Part of the application process is a phone interview to ensure that candidates are placed in the sector that works best for them - we can usually guarantee placement. The Adelante program is not competitive and we place year round, starting the first Monday of each month.
Participation in this program will massively upgrade your resume and provide the opportunity to become fluent in Spanish. All candidates have a Chilean Supervisor at their work assignments, plus an English-speaking Intern Advisor living in Viña. This is a fairly customized program and process, with anywhere from 3 to 10 candidates starting programs each month. Housing is your own room in a shared apartment.
This program has numerous Internships and Sectors to choose from and we are always adding more. You will gain real, international work experience to add to your resume, and you can become bi-lingual if you apply yourself. Instead of just visiting, as a tourist, you will be living and working in Chile -- there is really no other way to truly learn the language and the culture...
