Want to intern but not sure which Puentes program is right for you? Check out these facts about remote internships and in-person internships to help you decide.

 

IN-PERSON internships

  • Walk, bike, bus, subway, or carpool with others to your internship company’s office. We ensure your internship site is within 30 minutes of transit time from your Puentes housing.

  • Get to know your colleagues on a deeper level, by participating in team meetings, by sharing a coffee or mate in the break room, by carpooling to the office, or by heading to an “after-work,” well, after… work.

  • Communicate with your colleagues face-to-face at their desks or in meetings, while also using technological platforms like email, phone, and the like.

  • Work on a more typical 9am to 5pm schedule, with lunch breaks of course!

 REMOTE Internships

  • Save travel time and associated costs as you work from your preferred location.

  • Remote internships allow people who are less natural at interpersonal communication to build up their confidence. You can collect your thoughts and articulate yourself better on an online platform.

  • Communicate with colleagues via a wide range of channels, including email, Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp, phone, project management tools, and instant messaging.

  • Do your work when you want. You can choose the times you tackle certain project work, granted it aligns with your scheduled meetings or calls with your coworkers!
