Brazil: Your path to international experience
Internship in Brasil — an exchange program aimed at students who want to gain professional experience in Brazil in their field. Participants can complete internships in areas such as hospitality and tourism, finance, healthcare, education, environment, IT, marketing, and more. Internships are offered at international companies that are well-known in Brazil and worldwide, as well as at universities (in labs, research centers, etc.). Knowledge of Portuguese is an advantage when looking for an internship, but it’s possible to find a placement with English only. You can also take Portuguese courses while interning in Brazil. Work experience in the internship field is preferred but not a strict requirement. Job search and placement for participants happens before you leave for Brazil. The program sponsor finds only one potential internship placement.
