Internships in Cordoba (Ages 20+)

The home of the graceful and passionate dance known as tango and a well-respected wine industry, Argentina is often cited as the South American country that is distinctly European in flavor. Cordoba is a beautiful and lively university town at the foot of the Sierra Chicas mountains, along the Suquia River. It is widely considered to be among Argentina’s most culturally and historically rich cities. 

Currently enrolled university students and recent grads can perfect their Spanish and gain practical experience in one of several fields while deepening their understanding of Argentinean culture and business practices.

Our goal is to provide you with an internship relating to your field of choice where you will be able to assist with special projects and that will give you real-world, professional experience. You should also expect to perform some administrative tasks and general office work.

Accommodation and Meals
While interning in Argentina you will stay with a host family.* Your family may be a couple with or without children, a single parent, or a single person interested in other cultures. Within each family you will experience a different dynamic, but they are all motivated by the idea of making cross-cultural friendships. They will be eager to learn about you and your culture and are excited to teach you about their own. Your host family placement will include half board (2 meals per day). *
Greenheart Travel works together with our partner office in Argentina to find the best match for you according to your unique profile and interests. Our partner office maintains a network of trained local coordinators who select, screen, and monitor host families to help make a placement that is appropriate for you.

* Residence accommodation in student housing units is also available; contact Greenheart Travel for details.
