Join the Puentes Abroad Team
about puentes abroad:
Puentes builds bridges for students and recent graduates to cross into professional and cultural opportunities in Argentina and Uruguay. We design, set up, and manage customized and meaningful internship programs and immersive trips, which are complemented by personalized career development, engaging cultural activities, and constant support before, during, and after the Puentes adventure. We achieve this through meticulous and cheerful organization, local know-how, and vast experience working with participants, universities, and partner institutions.
Who is our ideal team member?
Excellent group management know-how, outstanding organizational skills, strong problem solving abilities, and interpersonal tact are what we seek. We always strive to do our best and constantly improve our programs, so a proactive and innovative approach is necessary. There are no typical days at Puentes, which is part of what makes our work so exciting; each day brings a new challenge, a new project, or a new adventure, so we jive with individuals who embrace this type of dynamic and cheerful approach to work. We value and respect diversity. We are multilingual and multicultural people who are able to flow seamlessly between Spanish and English and between Latin American and other world cultures. If this sounds like you, we look forward to connecting soon!
