Internship Project and Role of Supervisor
One of the most distinguished features of IFRE's internships in Argentina is the guidance of supervisors. Whichever projects you choose, IFRE will assign a qualified supervisor to provide assistance for all interns throughout the duration of their chosen internship. Individuals filling the role of supervisor are usually either the director or chosen staff member of the project which interns choose. During your time as an international intern, you will be assigned a number of duties which volunteers also perform (in this sense, there are very few differences between IFRE's volunteers and interns). Wherein exists the differences between interning and volunteering is that the internship allows individuals to become more deeply involved in their chosen project (i.e. individuals interning in the English-teaching project are able to focus on a number of issues related to education, Teaching English as a Foreign Language, TESOL, etc.). Please note: the project supervisor DOES NOT develop internships as this is up to the intern to get as much or as little out of their projects. ALL participants should be proactive to ensure the ultimate success of their internships. Supervisors will provide at least five (5) hours each week to make certain that interns are adequately guided.

INTERNSHIP IN ARGENTINA: ARRANGEMENT FOR ROOM
IFRE manages living accommodations and meals within a regional guesthouse located in a charming neighborhood within the city of Córdoba . The city of Córdoba boasts a number of exciting opportunities for interns wanting to see a city with a bright future which still maintains reverberations of its colonial and culture-rich past. Córdoba's plentiful cultural has produced a number of influential writers, its own musical styles (known as 'the cuarteto' in addition to tastes of classical, jazz, rock, pop and electronic), abundant monuments, lively festivals, enthralling theaters and a pulsing nightlife. Interns reside in accommodations which are located just minutes from the downtown area. This unique living situation is often quite conducive to fellow interns becoming acquainted with each other. Furthermore, Spanish AND Tango lessons are provided for participants in these living accommodations which also conveniently double as our local operator's headquarters - ensuring constant contact with in-country coordinators.

Once the interns program begins, our local staff members maintain contact with interns. We visit our interns every 2 weeks (if possible) and you are always welcome at the local office. We recommend interns stop by the office once a week if they are in the local area just to let us know how they are doing with their home stay and project. If your project is very far, then our local staff members maintain communication by either email and/or phone.
