BPS to Offer Paid Internships for UTU Administration Graduates

The Social Insurance Bank (BPS) in Uruguay is launching paid internships for graduates of the Technical and Professional Education Directorate (Dgetp) in administration. This initiative aims to integrate new interns into the organization and address service needs, continuing a partnership between BPS and UTU that began in 1996.

Selected interns will undertake a 40-hour work week, receiving a nominal monthly salary of $45,414 Uruguayan pesos. To be eligible, applicants must have graduated from an administration-related course since 2023, be at least 18 years old, have no prior public sector internship experience, and possess a health card upon commencement.

Interns will be responsible for tasks including public service, both in-person and via telephone, as well as general administrative duties within the BPS. The internships are initially for one year, with a possibility for renewal for up to 50% of the positions, contingent on institutional needs and individual performance.

Applications will be processed through official announcements in the Official Gazette, national newspapers, the Uruguay Concursa portal, and the BPS website. The application period runs from July 7 to July 21, 2026. The BPS has also recently advertised other positions, including 39 scholarships with a salary of $45,400 for 30 hours a week, and the Ministry of Social Development (Mides) is hiring for positions with a salary of $77,000 for 30 hours a week.
