Internships are a way to gain valuable hands-on experience in a professional field. An internship abroad will provide an opportunity for language and cultural learning as well as a personal and professional growth. In addition, international internships are a great way for a student or recent graduate to build their credentials and set themselves apart from other prospective job candidates. Join World Endeavors for an affordable and unique internship opportunity in Brazil.

Back_topOrientation:

Upon arrival in Brazil, participants receive an orientation that will familiarize them with the local area, the Brazilian culture, and their program. For placements of one-month or longer, participants will receive a week of Portuguese language training.

Once the placement begins, participants should receive an additional mini-orientation at the project site that focuses on project opportunities and responsibilities. For participants doing two to three week programs Portuguese instruction may be added on to your program prior to leaving or on-site. For participants doing 1 month programs additional Portuguese instruction may be added as well. It is not necessary that you know any Portuguese prior to participation in this program.
