Finding Passion by Doing

How many people do you know who can say that their most fun activity is actually their occupation? At The Bridge, guiding our students to find passion in what they do is of utmost importance. We listen and observe intently to our students' interests, talents, and where they seem most engaged and  energized.We offer close to 30 different options of internships and have enough connections with local professionals that we can find almost anything a student wishes to engage in. ​

Costa Rica is a relationship based culture, which strongly believes in apprenticeship. This has allowed us to connect our students with great mentors and have most of our graduates go on to follow the profession they first practiced at The Bridge. The dedication our students show once they are interning at the occupation of their dreams makes them highly regarded members of their internship’s teams, which allows them to create great resumes with strong letters of recommendation, and it opens up opportunities for other students to have the same internships other graduates have had. That’s why we keep on adding more and more to the list! ​
