1. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Intern in SPAIN is an independent program whereby candidates gain real international
work experience while immersing themselves in another culture. The program begins
with a two week intensive Spanish course with local Spanish teachers. Candidates will
then participate in 4 hour a day internships in small to mid-sized, Spanish-owned
companies or organisations. We can usually guarantee placement. The program is not
competitive and we place year round, starting any Monday throughout the year.
Participation in this program will massively upgrade your Resume and provide the
ability to become fluent in Spanish. All candidates have a Spanish Supervisor at their
work assignments, plus an English-speaking Intern Advisor living in Spain. This is a
fairly customized program and process, with anywhere from 3 to 10 candidates starting
programs each month. Housing is your own room in a shared apartment or residencia
