Welcome to our NICE Support Program
Internships and voluntary services in South America
As a German-Argentine Foundation, NICE offers up to 50 free internships abroad and volunteer services in Argentina. This support program comprises two parts and is aimed at students & graduates (student programme) or at pupils & school leavers (school programme).
Here, you can find a short presentation of the student program as well as the school program. Furthermore, we present you some examples of free internships abroad and volunteer services of the program.
As soon as you decide to apply, just download all forms in the “Application documents” section!
Student program
Internships are possible in tourism, marketing, logistics, languages, social work, business administration, arts & culture, pedagogy, communication or event management.
Both, enrolled students and graduates (Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes), can participate in the NICE support programme. It is open to all nationalities and ages (from 18 years). Furthermore, NICE does not differentiate between mandatory and voluntary internships.
In general, a start is possible all year round. Some internships exclude January as a starting period.
Depending on the internship company, a minimum duration of two months is required. The maximum internship duration is eight months.
Most Argentine companies prefer interns that have gained first professional knowledge from academic studies or prior vocational experience. However, there are also numerous positions which can be approached without prior knowledge.
The support program is open to all, regardless of the candidates’ Spanish skills. Candidates with little or no previous Spanish skills can prepare themselves adequately for their internship with a NICE intensive language course on site.
In principle, mandatory internships can also be completed within this support program. However, it must be examined on a case-by-case basis how specific the university requirements for the internship are.
We are currently accepting applications for the year 2018/19. Your application should ideally be submitted 4-5 months before the start of your internship, and at the latest 2 months in advance.
Here, you can download the Application Form Student Program and the CV Form. As soon as you have filled them out, you can send them together with a photo of yourself to info@nice-network.org. If you already have some Spanish skills, you can also attach our Spanish Test and we will evaluate your level.
School program
Important is openness towards the South American culture, willingness to learn, enthusiasm and reliability.
A lead time of 4-5 months is ideal, but if you are late, we also accept short-term applications (at the latest 2 months before the start of the project).
