The population of the Dominican Republic exceeds 10 million people (July 2012 est.) -- of which the median age is 26.5. The nation’s young labor force, combined with the hiring and training complexities associated with the growing presence of international institutions, represent challenges as well as opportunities for the expanding human resource industry. As of April 2013, 31% of young people in the Dominican Republic are unemployed. This figure is above the regional average for the Caribbean that is set at 14.6% according to the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Central Bank. The expanded juvenile unemployment rate (EJUR) counts people between the ages of 15 and 24.
InteRDom provides human resource students with internship experiences with some of the country’s most influential human resource service providers, as well as with human resource departments within prominent public, private and non profit institutions, in the areas of: labor relations, human resource administration, strategy, tourism, medicine and health, planning and leadership.

InteRDom also coordinates an important project that assists universities in the Dominican Republic to develop and expand career services programs to ensure that students transition smoothly into the workforce.
