Intern Colombia

I spent two months participating in a global internship in Bogotá organized by Intern Colombia and had a FANTASTIC experience! Intern Colombia did a tremendous job matching me to an internship that complemented my career goals and values. Not only did they help ensure that my internship experience was a positive one, but I also got to meet many different people and have a wide range of new experiences through the program activities offered that introduced me to the rich cultures in Colombia. This was surely an experience I will never forget!

I spent a total of 2 months in Bogota, Colombia, interning with a non-profit organization through Inter Colombia. During my time there we were taken on day trips, a weekend trip to La Guajira, tour of the city, night excursions, and so much more. I not only experienced what the city had to offer, but also learned about the city in so many ways. I was introduced to a new culture that I now adore and it is all thanks to Intern Colombia. The directors of the program are amazing, and super funny as well. I would definitely recommend this program, I met amazing people and learned so much about myself along the way!

My time as an intern in Bogota, Colombia, was amazing. I enjoyed every aspect of my stay; the housing, activities, and the people I met made it even better. All the guides were helpful and a joy to be around. Apart from all the fun, working in an office space with a reputable company and being able to gain skills I otherwise would not have been able to acquire made the program in itself worth it. I will always remember this study abroad as a fond memory, and I 100% recommend it for others to partake if you are offered the opportunity.

Intern Colombia is an incredible program. This last summer was the best decision I ever made. Intern Colombia made the process of finding an internship completely doable and stress-free. They have partnerships with so many organizations across a huge variety of sectors, there is definitely a place for anyone. The program director and staff are incurable kind and genuinely care for your well-being. Whether it was an emotional concern about missing home or getting recommendations for a restaurant, the staff were always there. Additionally, the program plans activities for the cohort and those were some of the best memories I’ve ever made. This is truly a life changing experience!

My time in Medellin was incredible from beginning to end. Before starting, I had signed up for the program hoping for a challenging experience that would allow me to achieve both personal and academic development. Looking back at my time in the country, I was able to achieve both. My internship (that focused on assessing the social impacts of green hydrogen projects) helped me narrow down a career path to pursue after I complete my studies, and the people I met and the experiences I have had while in the country will be among my most cherished memories.

Intern Colombia also provided continuous support from beginning to end. In my first few months, they made sure I was properly situated in the city and familiarised with the internship. They also continuously offered events, so I'd have opportunities to go out and explore not just Medellin, but other small towns throughout Antioquia as well. These trips and events were some of the most fun I had during my time here.
