Opportunities to work at Paisa Internship
Unique Approach
Before founding Paisa Internship our owner experienced an internship in Medellín and came to several conclusions.
1. Medellín is a paradise that has completely left its past behind it, western media show a completely skewed image of Colombia.
2. There are no sound existing internship agencies that are able to provide students with a quality internship and guidance in Medellín.

This has motivated us to make sure we can enable students worldwide to find a quality internship in this beautiful city. We achieve this because our young and professional team have experienced Medellín and its companies and know what it takes to give interns the best experience in Medellín, both professionally and personally. At Paisa Internship we want to go the extra mile: You can see us as your best buddy accompanying you during the application process, internship search and the whole period you are staying in Medellín. If you are not totally convinced, refer your own buddy to enroll together and you’ll get 10% discount on your internship!
You can contact us at any time on all topics. Please check the testimonial section to see what the interns, who went before you, think of us.

Great that you have an interest in doing your internship in Medellín :-).
I founded Paisa Internship, because not so long ago I was a student myself, and chose to do my internship in Medellín. I know what students want during their internship and time in Medellín, and through the partner network I built up in Medellín we are able to provide you with all services you need, to make your time in Colombia unforgettable.

What our clients say
“Working with Paisa Internship was. a great experience for me. When I approached them, they directly started to search an internship for me. Within less than two weeks they already had one. The next day we directly had a Skype conversation together with the company to make clear what were everybody’s expectations of the internship. Everything was arranged really quick and in a professional way. Within three weeks I could start with my internship and everything went excellent. All parties were very satisfied with the results and I would for sure recommend Paisa Internship”

“Paisa Internships was very helpful for me finding an internship in Medellin.
They are very open, answering any questions at any time. Within a short period I managed to get an internship before my school’s deadline. I could say I recommend everybody to start an internship from Paisa internships if you want to do it in Colombia.
When it comes to accommodation, they will always find a good spot to stay. Plus they offer Spanish courses . Something what is recommended as everybody speaks Spanish but not everybody speaking English.”
