Argentina: Mendoza

Spend eight weeks interning remotely for a company located in Mendoza. Set in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, Mendoza is known as “the land of good sunshine and good wine.” Home to nearly one million residents, Mendoza boasts innovative startups and impactful nonprofit organizations.

Summer 2026: This program will be offered in the remote format.

Interns will work remotely with a team based in Mendoza and will have frequent engagement with their supervisor and working teams. Interns will also interact frequently with our internship provider, Puentes Abroad, who will coordinate additional internship oversight, and professional seminars.

During this summer experience, you will apply the theories and concepts you’ve learned in class to a professional international working environment, learning and practicing the customs, behaviors and norms of another culture.

The skills you develop on this internship will transform you as a leader and give you a distinct competitive advantage in the job market. Along with practicing fundamental workplace skills, you will prove that you can work in a diverse environment, adapt to change, be a flexible problem solver and integrate successfully into a diverse and cross-cultural team—all high-demand skills for today’s globally minded employers.

You will work remotely Monday through Friday for eight weeks at your placement company as an intern for 25-30 hours per week. Given this is a virtual internship program, your work schedule may vary depending on your project and team needs.

This program is run through Puentes Abroad, a third-party provider.
