InteRDom Internship Program

InteRDom is a competitive internship, research and study program that promotes professional, academic and cultural exchange between students, universities, scholars, professionals, businesses and non-governmental organizations on a national and international scale. The Program provides spaces for personal and professional growth, and international and multicultural exchange, while at the same time contributing to the advancement of academic research and the mobility and employability of youth. InteRDom offers many program options to fit students’, professors’ and universities’ professional and academic needs. At InteRDom, the key word is flexibility. We tailor our programs to make sure that they adequately serve the intern and/or institution in regards to content, time frame and logistical considerations. For undergraduate students, the program consists of an internship experience with a private, public or non-governmental institution and enrollment in at least one course at the Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE). For graduate and gap year students, enrollment in courses is optional so that more emphasis can be placed on professional development and/or research projects. Participants in our Caribbean Summer program have the opportunity to combine their internships with courses and seminars specializing in Culture, Spanish as a Foreign Language, and topics relevant to the region. Furthermore, InteRDom interns may take courses to earn credits transferrable to interns’ home university. InteRDom is committed to research, as well as to participants’ academic and professional development, and through the newly-inaugurated Fellows Program, Masters and PhD candidates, as well as academics and professors, have the opportunity to develop research on the Dominican Republic’s attainment of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Program staff assists in the development of this and any other personal research that participants are interested in conducting.
