Launch your career in Puerto Rico
A summer program combining professional development Labs + optional internship experience
El Comeback Fellows
El Comeback Fellows is a summer program designed for undergraduate students to build workplace skills, explore career paths, and gain early professional experience in Puerto Rico.
The program combines weekly in-person Labs focused on communication, problem-solving, and career readiness with the option to participate in an internship, depending on availability and fit.
What Are Labs?
Labs are weekly, in-person sessions held on Fridays designed to help you build the skills you’ll actually use at work.
These sessions are designed to help college students:
- Strengthen communication and professional skills
- Work on real-world scenarios and challenges
- Learn practical tools (including AI, research, and collaboration)
- Connect what you’re learning to your internship or career goals
Labs are the core of the program and provide a structured space to grow alongside other college students.

Skills you’ll build through Labs

Build confidence using tools (including AI) and develop skills for a rapidly evolving workplace.
