Conditions for Internships in Peru

Work experience
The internships offered by INSIDE PERU are mostly geared towards students or people who recently finished their studies, and thus want to deepen their knowledge or gain first work experience doing an internship abroad. In single cases we also arrange internships for pupil who dispose of the adequate experience in the corresponding domain. Requirement is in any case to have reached legal age.

Knowledge of Spanish
For a successful internship basic knowledge of Spanish is required. Some companies and organizations also ask for advanced knowledge of Spanish. That's why INSIDE PERU offers Spanish courses (individual or in groups), conducted by experienced language teachers. All classes are designed for individual needs.

Salary
Most of the internships offered by INSIDE PERU are unpaid. In some cases though, companies pay a small incentive. The cost of living in Peru is lower than for example in Europe or the USA, but the possible additional costs of being abroad should not be underestimated.

Health insurance
The possession of an international health insurance for the whole time of your stay in Peru is in any case required. You can get an international health insurance in your country of origin.

Length of the internship
You define the length of your internship. However, we recommend a duration of at least two months in order to get the most out of it. In some cases, two months is the minimum duration for an internship. On the other hand, we recommend not to plan your internship being longer than six months, due to the fact that you usually won't get paid.
