Internship Programme
The B&CCC regularly seeks qualified interns to join our small but dynamic team. Interns work closely with the Executive Director and the entire B&CCC team, assisting in the development and implementation of new and ongoing projects and activities.
Candidates should have a solid academic background and a strong interest in working in an international environment. They should have excellent computer skills and proficiency in both English and Spanish.
Internships last for four months, with the option to extend for an additional four months based on availability.

Staff Testimonial
“Working at the BCCC provides a great opportunity to develop professionally, get to know the Colombian-British market, and work with highly professional people under great leadership. It was a very enriching experience for me as I learned a lot and have great memories.”
“Interning at the B&CCC is an opportunity to be exposed to a variety of business needs which the chamber helps to facilitate, from helping importers and exporters in both the UK and colombia, to helping with research and proposals. It’s a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to learn more about how international trade works and the conditions that underpin it. (…) The manager at the time was very friendly but also very busy meaning you were often to learn quite quickly and perform quite technical bits of research with minimal guidance.”
“The Colombian Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom was a great help in starting your career in Events and Marketing. The director was always present to support the day-to-day tasks; responsibility is given from the first day of work, and one must remain calm when handling multiple activities in a single day, prioritising and being efficient.”
