Description: Chile is a country in South America occupying a long and narrow coastal strip wedged between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. This coastal Southern Cone country on the west side of the Andes Mountains stretches over 4,630 kilometres (2,880 miles) north to south, but only 430 kilometres (265 miles) at its widest point east to west. This encompasses a remarkable variety of landscapes.

* North
The northern Atacama Desert contains great mineral wealth, primarily copper and nitrates. The relatively small Central Valley, which includes Santiago, dominates the country in terms of population and agricultural resources. This area also is the historical centre from which Chile expanded in the late nineteenth century, when it integrated the northern and southern regions.

* South
Southern Chile is rich in forests, grazing lands, and features a string of volcanoes and lakes. The southern coast is a labyrinth of fjords, inlets, canals, twisting peninsulas, and islands. The Andes Mountains are located on the eastern border. Chile is the longest (N-S) country in the world (over 4,600 kilometres / 2,800 miles), and also claims 1,250,000 square kilometres (482,628 sq. miles) of Antarctica as part of its territory.

Highlights: An internship abroad is the best experience you can have for your professional as well as for your personal development. Experiencing a foreign culture, and having to get organized in a foreign place, are very good ways to broaden your horizons. And when applying for a job, some experience abroad is often expected.

It goes without saying that personnel departments expect most applicants to have knowledge of English as a foreign language. Having a good knowledge of a second foreign language makes you stand out against competitors and, in most cases, opens the door for an interview.

If you would like to go to Chile to experience the culture whilst improving your Spanish through an internship, we can help. With our extensive network of companies and contacts we are in the perfect position to offer you all the support you need in your application for an internship and/or a language course in Chile.

Qualifications: In order to prepare you for the Internship we offer language courses in the local language. Because it is important for us to provide a high quality of language course we only work together with specially chosen language schools. This way you can rest assured that you will be taught by professional teachers that will prepare you fully for the coming Internship. During your Internship with us you will have the chance to meet people from all around the world and improve not only your professional but your personal skills.
