There
are four steps to confirmation in a placement with SAC.
Step
1: Enroll with SAC
See something that interests you? Please fill out this enrollment
form and – very important - attach in a separate
word document, a brief curriculum vitae (CV). This CV is required in
order for SAC to be able to propose your candidacy to potential placements.
It should include the following information (sample
CV).
     
your name, age and date of birth; education: high school and/or college
attended. Any special academic focus or interest; work experience; volunteer
experience; special interests or hobbies that might be relevant to your
placement.
     
Once we have received your enrollment form and CV, we will let you know
whether the placement(s) you would like are available during the time
period you can be in Chile and whether you would be a suitable candidate
for the position you seek.
Step 2: Telephone conference
The telephone conference is an opportunity for you to ask questions
and for us to discuss your interests and candidacy.
Step 3: Registration
In order for SAC to pursue your candidacy with the placement(s) you
have chosen, a $100 registration fee is required. This fee is deducted
from the total SAC fee once you are confirmed in your placement. The
registration fee is refundable should SAC not be able to confirm your
placement in a timely fashion. Once you are registered you gain access
to the Members Area, with loads of information about Chile, visas, flights,
communications, what to bring, etc.
Step 4: Confirmation
Confirmation of your placement follow payment of the balance of the
SAC fee: $400 for one placement, $600 for two or more.

“My
placement definitely kept me busy and I felt useful most ofthe time.
I enjoyed the work with the kids, but it requires lots of patience.
I was extremely well treated, the best of my whole trip and of all
my travels. The placement was well organized as well.”
