Description: Cultural Embrace offers an exciting and affordable opportunity to live and work in St. Petersburg, Russia! Our Intern Russia program is aimed at individuals or groups with the appropriate skills to work for a company based in Russia. We offer a wide variety of internship placements, including but not limited to: marketing, finance, business management, medicine/health, and social services.

Internships begin all year round and range from one to six months. Because a good elementary level of the Russian language is required, we have included a mandatory four-week intensive Russian language course at the beginning of each program. Placement will begin directly after your language course is completed. Most internships are unpaid, however many companies reward quality work with a bonus or stipend.

Russia is the largest country by land mass in the world, and it is full of areas to explore. Russia's economy is booming and has become an emerging market and a great place to develop international connections.
