Students can always contact Equinox Spanish School to inquire about other internship opportunities.

All internships will take place in private or public organizations within Ecuador.

In order to apply you need to fill out an application (you can find it under “contact us”) along with a resume.  Once we have found a suitable company for your internship the student and the organization will sign a contract that details the specific conditions and responsibilities of both parts.  All internships are subject to time, place, field, duties, schedule, and the internal policies of each company.  Working as an intern does not guarantee a long term contract between the student and the company.

At the end of the internship the company will issue a certificate that will describe the work done by the intern. This certificate will be sent directly to the student’s university if it were part of student’s credit; otherwise it will be given directly to the student.
 
All students should apply at least 120 days before beginning the internships. This is in order to give Equinox Spanish School enough time to find a suitable company for the student and take care of all logistic issue prior to the student arrival.

The student will be able to contact the company once all requisites are filled by the student.
The cost of the internship is $400 US dollars, which should be paid before signing the contract from the company.
