Thunderbird for Good - Get Involved

"As a Peruvian, being part of the Salta internship was an eye-opening experience. This internship has given me a new perspective on the dynamics of Lima and the reality of how people live, struggle and conduct business in the most remote corners of this big city."

Marcela Cubas
One of five Thunderbird MBA students who spent summer 2011 working in Peru with 120 micro-entrepreneurs

Be an intern: Travel abroad as a field consultant

Micro-entrepreneurs who participate in Proyecto Salta attend a three-hour business training course taught in Spanish at community centers all over Peru. But many business owners need additional support. Thunderbird MBA students provide follow up guidance through an internship program launched in 2011. Interns selected for the program spend 12 weeks in Peru working one-on-one for 10 hours or more with Proyecto Salta participants. The interns help the micro-business owners with everything from cash flow management and inventory control to marketing strategy. Spanish proficiency is required for selected interns, who receive financial support from our Proyecto Salta funding partners.
