Patagonia

Argentina borders Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay, and it is the eighth largest country in the world, second only to Brazil in terms of size and population in South America. The population mix of Argentina is very different from the rest of Latin America as it is mostly European. However, you can still experience "traditional life" in the northern provinces of Salta and Jujuy. These provinces resemble the Andean nations of Bolivia and Peru and differ culturally from those of the Pampas. Archaeological sites, volcanoes, small Indian villages, and nature reserves can be found in this area.

Argentina is a country of European traditions that loves modernity and diversity. You will get a guaranteed immersion in its culture helped by its chatty, resourceful and kind people. On top of that, Argentina has every natural beauty you can think of: the mighty Andes, the wide Río de la Plata and the famous Iguaçu Falls. Magnificence on each end like the southern glaciers and the northern “Calchaquíes” Valleys going through the pampas in the center!
Now is a great time to visit, so get your spirit in gear and prepare for an unforgettable adventure!

Cordoba Facts

- University city, suitable for those with student budget.

- Friendly and open people.

- Late nightlife culture and young spirit.

- Natural landscapes a few minutes from the city.

Córdoba is a fascinating mix of old and new. Where else will you find DJs spinning electro-tango in crowded student bars next to 17th century Jesuit ruins?
In 2006, Córdoba was designated Cultural Capital of the Americas, and the title fits the city perfectly. Four excellent municipal galleries – dedicated to emerging, contemporary, classical and fine arts respectively – are within easy walking distance of each other and the city center. The alternative film scene is alive and kicking. Young designers and artisans exhibit their stuff at a weekend crafts market that sprawls for blocks and is one of the best in the country. And if all this action is too much for you, quaint little mountain villages are a short bus ride away.

Cordoba is a culturally rich city with relevant Jesuit heritage. On top of the natural beauty of this region, the cultural diversity and developed economy, it is the warmth and hospitality of its people what makes of Cordoba such an attractive city.

Being in the center of the trendy club district, it is a deliberately romantic space with benches and cafes, both indoors and out.

Why do an Internship abroad?

Nowadays, experiences abroad and especially Professional Internships are an important value added in your professional career. Language skills, intercultural competence and flexibility, as well as the willingness and ability to adapt and integrate into new cultures, are important requirements in recruitment processes. Living abroad and the acquisition of knowledge about other countries, other cultures and their customs are also enriching personal experiences.
 

Why do an Internship with COINED?

We offer the possibility to do an Internship in one of the following locations: Buenos Aires and Córdoba (Argentina); Santiago de Chile (Chile); Heredia and San José (Costa Rica); La Antigua (Guatemala); and Barcelona (Spain). We work with important Host Organizations, which have been pre-selected through a rigorous process that ensures the successful development of your Internship. You have our assistance and support from the moment we receive your inquiry until the day you finish your Program. We have an extensive experience and an excellent relationship with our Host Organizations and we know the desires and expectations of our Participants.
 

What kind of Internships do you offer?

We offer Paid and Non-Paid Internships, either Standard or Customized. Paid Internships are the ideal option if you want to get a valuable experience into the working world and receive a cash incentive. The pocket money offered is usually less than the one you would make if you worked in a standard job, but it is enough to live on. Non-Paid Internships focus on international non-formal education and on acquiring experience in a real working environment. For Standard Internships you can make a selection from the list of areas and sub-areas available online. For Customized Internships we look for a position that fits your needs and expectations.
 

Which is the difference between a Standard Internship and a Customized Internship?

The main difference between our Standard and Customized Internships is that for a Standard Internship you apply for an existing Internship position within our Host Organizations. For the Customized Internship we carry out a personalized search according to your requirements.

Back to top
 

Where can I do my Internship, in which areas and in which Organizations?

You can do your Internship in one of our Host Organizations from the public and private sector. When you decide to apply for an Internship, you need to select three areas of interest from the online list available at our website. Then, in order to have more specific knowledge about what you want to do, you can choose three sub-areas. Once we evaluate your profile, you will receive a proposal according to your preferences and interests.
 

When can I start my Internship?

Our Host Organizations are usually flexible regarding your start date, but keep in mind, though, that once you have sent your Internship Application Package and deposit, you must wait for confirmation of your Internship placement before organizing your flight.
 

When is the best time to intern abroad?

Many students embark on an Internship during their junior year at university, but it ultimately depends on you to judge when is the best time to pursue an Internship. Positions are available all year round. Still, you should bear in mind the holiday calendar of each location, since there is little activity.
 

When will I receive the confirmation of my position and the information about my Host Organization?

Once we’ve received all the documentation of the application, we’ll process your information and confirm availability. Then you’ll receive a position proposal according to your profile and interests. The process takes 8 (eight) weeks, including the confirmation from the Host Organization in which you will do your practice and the details of your position. Customized Internships’ processes take 10 (ten) weeks.

Back to top
 

Can I get a second proposal if I don't like the first placement that you have sent to me?

Once you are accepted in our Internships Program you will receive a placement proposal according to your academic needs and your professional profile. That proposal is subject to the Host Organization's confirmation, based on availability at the moment you apply, as well as on the information you submit in the Internship Application Package. If the placement you chose has been already assigned, you will be presented with an Internship placement option of similar characteristics.
 

What is the length of the Internships?

It depends on the location chosen, the field of interest and Host Organizations. Non-paid Internships have a minimum length of 2 (two) months, with the possibility to extend it to 6 (six) or 12 (twelve) months. Paid Internships have a fixed duration of 3 (three) or 6 (six) months. It also depends on your nationality and the legal requirements of the entry country.
 

Will an Internship improve my job opportunities?

Nothing is more advantageous for a professional than having a Résumé that shows international work experience. Students who have done an Internship have a clear working and academic advantage. Having international experience shows your potential employers that you have the capacity to interact with people from other cultures, that you are independent, and flexible. Also, having done an international education program represents advantages when applying for a post graduate studies scholarship.
 

What level of Spanish do I need?

It is recommended that you have at least an Upper-Intermediate level of Spanish before starting the Internship. You will be working in a Spanish-speaking environment and it is unlikely that you find people speaking your language. However, attitude and openness are often more important than language skills. If you have any questions about your language proficiency, do not hesitate to contact us. Our staff members can offer you advice about your skills.

Back to top
 

Can I do a Professional Internship if I don’t speak Spanish?

To begin your Internship you must have at least an intermediate level of Spanish. This is a very crucial barrier some students face. Not knowing the language prevents you from performing many activities, and this is why it is important to have an intermediate to advanced level of Spanish. Keep in mind that the more Spanish you know, the more responsibilities you will be given and in turn, you will learn more.
 

Can I do an Internship while I take a Spanish course?

One of the requirements to start an Internship is having an intermediate level of Spanish. If this level isn’t reached before the Internship starting date, the beginning of your activity will be postponed. If your level of Spanish is intermediate or higher, you can attend Spanish courses whilst you carry out your Internship.
 

What documentation is required to apply for the Program?

To start the process, it is essential that you send us your CV and a Letter of Intent in Word format, together with the Program Application Form and Terms and Conditions signed. You should preferably complete it in Spanish. Also, you should provide a copy of your medical insurance and comply with all the formal and legal requirements of the Program.
 

How important is my Letter of Intent?

It is very important since your potential supervisors will read all your documents, and will pay particular attention to your spelling and grammar skills. This is important if you are looking for a position in an Internship that requires a lot of writing. Your application, essays, and other documents are the supervisors’ first impression about you; therefore, we recommend writing the letter with special care. We suggest writing your Letter of Intent in Spanish and attach your CV. It is very important that you include the reasons why you want to do an Internship abroad, what are your interests and expectations.

Back to top
 

Who is eligible to apply for the Internships Program?

We look for University and College students who are curious about the world, enjoy new challenges, and have a good academic background. Priority is given to those who demonstrate open mindedness, flexibility, and understand the meaning of “Team Work”. Students who have not decided a course of study yet but who want to have some previous working experience before making up their minds can also apply.
 

What happens if my Internship is not successful?

We cannot predict how your experience will turn out to be, but we will do everything we can to make your Internship a great experience. In case of any inconvenience, we have trained professionals to solve and / or manage a new search, if necessary. Our selection process is designed so that it is unlikely for our Participants not to be successful in their Program.
 

Can I change my Internship if it is unsuitable?

In some rare instances the Internship placement or the Host Organization’s workplace culture may not meet your needs. If this is the case it is important that you speak to our local mentor and the company tutor to document your concerns. Our local mentor will act to ensure that your Internship placement work or workplace environment better responds to your needs. However, in some cases it will not be possible for the Organization to meet your requirements. If this is the case, by mutual agreement, your Internship would be terminated. COINED would be under no obligation to find you an alternative Internship but is responsible to evaluate the particular case and act in consequence.
 

Can I send a last minute application to my Internship?

We may accept last minute applications for the Standard Internships program under special circumstances. If you wish to apply for an Internship less than 8 weeks in advance of your desired start date, please contact us as soon as possible and make sure to mention in your Internship Application Form that you are requesting a "Fast Search Standard Internship". Your particular case will be evaluated, as well as the possibility of confirming your Internship placement within your required deadlines. You will get a confirmation of acceptance to the program within 72 hours. Last minute applications will incur an extra cost. The objective of COINED Internships Program "ad honorem" is to broaden your professional knowledge and to prepare you for the area in which you would like to specialize as a professional.

How many hours a week do I have to work in my Internship?

Interns usually work five days a week, no more than 6 hours a day according to each project. It is between you and the person who you report to, to work out your schedule. Internships are flexible; but sometimes, projects can have deadlines, and you could be asked to work extra hours with the rest of the staff.
 

How do I get credits for my Internship?

Some Academic Institutions require their students to keep an Internship journal that will be read and graded by the appropriate faculty member at the home University. Then, we suggest that you contact your study advisor abroad to help you decide whether or not to keep a journal.
 

Can I work during and after the Internship?

You will not be able to work while you are doing your Internship due to the regulations that govern this kind of program.

Back to top
 

Why do I receive the money from COINED instead of the Host Organization?

The aim of the Paid Internship is, precisely, to contribute to cover your expenses from the moment you initiate the Internship, giving you also the opportunity to receive the proportional payment for the days worked (if you start the program after the 10th day of the month).
 

How is the Paid Internships Program financed?

The financing of the program is possible thanks to a fund that comprises three factors: COINED, many of our Host Organizations and the Internships Program itself. This allows us to provide our Participants with the benefit of receiving a fixed monthly cash incentive to stimulate their personal and professional development and to recognize the contribution their work means to our Host Organizations.
