IIE will help complete paperwork necessary for students to earn academic
credit for their internship, but it is the responsibility of each intern
to fully investigate the institutional requirements for credit.
Interns will be living and working in Mexico City for a period of three to
four months. The internship includes a full-time work schedule, Monday
through Friday from 8:30am to 5:30pm, except official Mexican and American
holidays. One day off is granted for each two weeks worked.
Interns have the opportunity to explore the Mexican educational and
Business communities, as well as the field of international education in
the U.S. Former interns have pursued careers with The College Board, AFS,
University of Pennsylvania, the Goldman Sachs Foundation, American Chamber
of Commerce, a Mexican law firm, as well as international positions with
IIE such as the Student Counselor and Coordinator for Educational Services.
