Overview
Mi Primera Oportunidad is the Dominican Ministry of Youth's structured public-sector internship programme for young people seeking a first formal professional experience.
Complete internship details
The official programme offers three-month, in-person internships with flexible schedules that can adapt to academic availability. Participants receive professional mentoring, technical and soft-skills development and an official certificate at completion. The current programme page states that selected interns receive a monthly stipend intended to help with transport and food, while the formal terms describe transport/meal incentives as subject to budget availability. Applications are managed through the official Mi Primera Oportunidad/Pasantías Públicas RD registration portal.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must be 18–35 years old, be an active student or a recent graduate within the last two years from a recognized university or technical institute, have no prior formal work experience, register in Pasantías Públicas RD and be available for the schedule set by the assigned institution. Applicants may apply to one vacancy per call.
Tips for this internship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Tailor the CV and application to the responsibilities and required skills stated on the official employer page.
- Use concrete evidence of relevant work, projects and measurable results rather than generic claims.
- Confirm location, work authorization, remote restrictions and sponsorship terms before applying.
- Apply through the original employer or official recruitment destination shown on this page.
Verification notes
Verified on the Ministry of Youth's live programme page and its active official registration form. The page confirms a three-month in-person placement and current application workflow but does not publish a single closing date, so deadline fields remain null. The Ministry's FAQ says selected interns receive a monthly transport/food stipend; its terms separately qualify transport/meal incentives as subject to budget availability, and this nuance is preserved.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
