1.

Apply

Fill out the Intern Colombia Application Form found on our Apply Now tab.
The Application Form will ask for basic information.
You will then be contacted by a member of our team and required to send your updated CV and a Motivational Letter (introducing yourself, explaining why you want to undertake an internship in Colombia, and what makes you stand out from other applicants).

2.

Personal Assessment Interview

The personal assessment interview’s main objectives are to get to know you better, evaluate your motivations to participate in the program, and discuss the details of your application before our team starts their review. Be sure to be prepared as we will use this interview to determine your suitability to undertake our Internship Program. 

This interview can be conducted Virtually or via WhatsApp.

3.

Acceptance & Confirmation

All accepted candidates are required to make an initial deposit payment to secure their place - this contributes to your total Program Fee. We accept applicants year-round, but priority is given to candidates who apply and confirm their place early. Our aim is to notify accepted or rejected candidates within two weeks.

Successful applicants will normally have two weeks to confirm their place via e-mail.

4.

Interview with Partner

Once you have confirmed and secured your place, we will arrange an interview(s) with our partner(s) in your first and/or second career field that matches your profile and preferences.

Intern Colombia offers interview preparation to ensure you succeed.

5.

Book your flight or Intern Remotely

Once your internship start date and your arrival date are confirmed, we will advise you on travel arrangements to Colombia. Our team will support you in your preparation by providing you with pre-departure support and advice.
 
Upon your arrival you will be provided with the Intern Colombia Welcome Package (Colombian SIM card, transportation card, city map and more), city tour and orientation and a member of our team will be waiting for you at the airport!

What happens after I submit my application?

Once you have completed and submitted your Application Form, within 72 hours a member of our team will contact you via e-mail and request an updated CV and a Motivational Letter.

If successful, you will be invited to undertake a personal assessment interview via Google Meet with our Program Director. Please ensure to prepare as this will determine your suitability to undertake our Program.
