“From the experience I had as a paralegal. Many times in university, we young people think that having a good GPA is enough, and it often happens that after we have the degree, we don’t know what to do with it, because an excellent GPA does not guarantee experience,” he said.

She also pointed out that the internship program opens the possibility of remaining at the institution, as happened with her when she started as a paralegal in her native Santiago and who today has been working at the Public Prosecutor’s Office for more than two decades.

I would never forgive myself for passing through the PGR and not promoting the program that has me here today speaking with you all”, he said, recalling that the doors of the justice system opened for him with the opportunity of an internship. “I didn’t get in through cronyism. I didn’t get in because someone recommended me. I got in because they asked for the three best grades, and my grade was among those three best, so I arrived and I am still here today”, he specified.
