Program Overview

Program Description:

AIDE Abroad’s international internships in Peru offer participants the opportunity to gain experience and develop employability skills in a global context. Furthermore, participants may be eligible to receive academic credit for their international internship with AIDE Abroad. AIDE Abroad believes that this access to experiential learning develops intercultural competence, as well as tolerance and understanding of circumstances and societies that are different from our own. Our aim is to build a worldwide community of global citizens who will be part of an ongoing intercultural conversation. Welcome aboard, and we hope that you enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Participants are placed in an international internship that is customized according to their field of study, professional experience, and Spanish language skills. AIDE Abroad offers in-country Spanish courses for those who do not already posses an intermediate level of Spanish upon starting their internship.

AIDE Abroad’s international internships in Peru provide currently-enrolled university students and recent graduates, as well as more experienced professionals, the chance to gain hands-on experience in a wide range of fields in this historical Andean country. We offer placements in both Lima and Cusco, where participants will have the opportunity to gain valuable professional experience while living with a Peruvian host family. Sharing their daily life will provide you with cultural experience and insight that you could never have as a tourist. The goal is for interns to better understand their industry, distinguish their resume with international work experience, and gain confidence in their field of expertise.
