Chile Summer Internship Program
Now is the time to apply for a global internship experience in Chile!
Application DEADLINE CLOSED!
Consider an internship in Santiago, one of South America’s most powerful business centers! Chile’s capital city boasts the bohemian cafes of the Bellavista neighborhood, the conquistador’s Plaza de Armas, and the incredible views from Cerro Santa Lucia.
As the strongest economy of the region, Chile offers both a culturally rich and professionally engaging opportunity for a summer internship. Chile’s capital city, Santiago, is host to many multinational corporations’ regional headquarters, including LAN Airlines, KPMG, and Shell. With the skyscraping Andes and picturesque Chilean coastline just minutes away, Santiago is the perfect place to spend your summer (and their winter).
The eight-week unpaid internship program provides an opportunity for you to obtain entry-level work experience in fields related to your future career ambitions, such as marketing, advertising, finance and business development. In addition to the professional internship, you’ll receive supplemental training through a Global Skills Training Program, which offers:
- Formal business instruction through training modules
- Intercultural relationship building techniques
- Career coaching
You will not receive Fisher academic credit for this supplemental training.
