Internships in Spain
Extracts from the experiences of our internees
Grupo Paradies/ Restaurant Paradis Temporada
I have had many experiences in my internship. Thanks to the fact that my company made me take on many responsibilities, I have been in contact with many departments and different areas.
Among the things I did, I would like to highlight the following: preparing budgets for events, cash control, designing menus, helping clients, reception and restaurant service....
The internship was the best thing I could have done and it has helped me a great deal in my decision about what I want to do in my professional future.

Black & Blanc
Thanks to my internship, I have had the opportunity to get a first impression of the organisation and how a large Spanish company works.
During my stay, I lived with young Spanish people. This has helped me get used to life in Spain and it was not difficult for me to become integrated in everyday life.
I would particularly like to thank all the staff of Centro Humboldt who really went to a great effort to help us learn Spanish and to integrate in the culture of the country.
To sum up, I think that my decision to attend the Spanish course and the internship was a good one and I would like to thank all the people who collaborated in the project.

Laboratorio Especialidades Nacionales, S.A.
To have participated in the transnational project has been one of the most important experiences in my life. I have learned a great deal: living in a flat with a lot of people, being aware of the differences in standards of living, the differences in the workplace. I enjoyed my stay in Barcelona and would not mind repeating the project.
Now I have decided to study to go to university and then take chemistry (perhaps in Spain).

The Spanish language training took place in a very good school - Centro Humboldt - with excellent teachers. This has enabled me to
get a very good command of Spanish and I would like to perfect my knowledge in the future.
In the personal sphere, I get the impression that I have taken an important step forward. I feel more independent, more flexible and with more courage and enthusiasm to take on responsibilities.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Sinnamon Records, S.L.
Looking back, I can say that during the internship, I enjoyed my work a lot, I practised the language and now I can keep up a conversation in Spanish quite fluently. ... I am really impressed by the amount of Spanish I have learned after just a few months in Barcelona.
On the professional level, I also learned a lot during my internship. The first few weeks were very hard, but I have been able to adapt to the work environment little by little... In any case, I would have liked to have had more independence, to have taken on more responsibilities.
