Chile is considered a
Latin American economic success story. With a modern
infrastructure and very healthy work culture, the country is excellent

Internship Placement
We need to begin the placement process at least four weeks prior to
your intended start date.
If you are a very
advanced student and only need a four week course, you should fax us a
Spanish version of your resume before arrival. Otherwise we can
do that after your program begins.
