Here in HCUPR we have said time and time again how important internships truly are. It can help you gain knowledge of your future profession and acquire general work experience. Great news for all business administration majors: FirstBank and the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras are calling out all students for an internship opportunity!

“I think its a great partnership and opportunity for the students, especially those that are Business majors. I think in today’s job market this is a necessary process. You could be studying for something and have an unrealistic idea of what the actual job will be like, which can be very disappointing if you realize it by the time you are already in your first out of college job,” said ex ALPFA president, Coral Frederique, who just finished an internship in PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC.) this summer.  

According to the letter published in the university’s website, you can fill out the form right there in the website or go straight to the Decanato de estudiantes in the Business Administration faculty. The last day is September 6, so hurry now and don’t miss out on this unbelievable opportunity!
