Our global internship program (available in Madrid and several other world cities) has everything you need to boost your career, including:

• One-on-one support from our team, leading to an internship placement within your chosen career fields. You can request an internship to be conducted in English or in Spanish - your choice.
• Comfortable, well-located housing accommodation with private bedroom
• Cultural and social activities to immerse you in the Madrid lifestyle and introduce you to fellow interns from around the world. These activities vary by season, and may include:
  • Attending a performance of flamenco music & dance
  • Day trip to the historic city of Toledo
  • A tour of the famous Bernabeu stadium
  • Tasting traditional Spanish tapas  
• A range of professional development resources, such as our Career Advancement Training modules, access to seminars and networking events, and a DISC workplace assessment
• Step-by-step guidance through the visa process
• Airport pick-up upon arrival in Madrid
• Live personal support throughout the program, including placement counseling, resume and cover letter guidance, on-site local staff, free & confidential access to mental health services provided by licensed professionals, and a session with a professional career coach after your internship is complete

The internship component of the program is full-time, 32 to 40 hours per week. You choose when you want to start and the length of your internship (6 to 24 weeks). While you are welcome to apply at any time, for the best experience we recommend starting the process at least 3 months in advance of your desired start date.

1. Apply - Fill out our short application form, attach your resume/CV, and schedule an online interview with our Admissions team. Applying is fast and free.

 

2. Connect with The Intern Group's Admissions Team - Similar to an advising session, we will discuss your internship and career goals, and the program structure that best suits your professional and personal needs. Be prepared to talk about your background and goals. During this process we will review your application and determine your eligibility to participate in the program.

 

3. Receive your decision - Within 1-3 days, we will send you our admissions decision. If you are accepted into the program, you can confirm your enrollment by submitting a deposit toward the program fee. 

 

4. Begin the Internship Placement Process - Once you are enrolled in the program, our placement team will create a professional profile for you and share it among our network of host organizations in Madrid to find an internship opportunity that matches your goals. You will then have an interview with the host organization to ensure that it is a good match, and you also will begin the visa process if necessary.   

Our programs have a fee, which covers all of the features described above. Because the programs include housing accommodation, the fee amount depends on the dates/length of your internship. You can look up the exact amounts and full details of the program fees on our website here. Also note that the internships may be either paid or unpaid, subject to the decision of the host company and the rules of your visa. 

Students who receive any of the aid programs listed below receive a discount of US$500. You can also ask our Admissions team about any other discounts which may be available to you, such as special reduced fees for students or graduates of your university or college.
