I´m doing several different tasks right now and enjoying them, and I´m learning about some different systems and terminology that will undoubtedly help me in the future! When I’m not at my internship, I´m doing all sorts of exciting things, like visiting Paris, Lisbon, and Morocco, and making friends.  I´ve attended some intercambios, a Spanish cooking demonstration, and I am looking at taking salsa classes!

“I like that [my internship] is allowing me to dabble with different positions in the company (HR, Marketing, finance, etc.) and, as the internship continues, I can choose what I want to focus on primarily.”

“Everything’s great here, I absolutely love my roommates who are also here through Adelante, and we are having a good time. Angel, the director, is always there to assist us if anything’s required. The internship’s going well too. They involve me in various projects so I get to learn a lot of different aspects to architecture in Spain. I definitely do not feel like going back after such a great experience here!”

“Work is going great, I’ve actually already been working there for 2 weeks so luckily I have some friends! I really really love my internship. [I’m working] with the third print I’ve ever made – wood reduction print with 6 different colors/layers.“

“During my internship, I got the chance to have a hands on experience learning how to take blood, administer IV’s, attend wounds, and have an up close experience observing simple surgeries.”

“The Spanish classes are super fun and helpful. When I’m done for the day with work and classes, I like to go for a walk round Madrid and explore the city.“

I just wanted to let you know that I had the best time here in Madrid, Spain. The internship worked out perfectly because I learned a lot from the doctors and nurses.”

“This program was so great! I learned so much and had such amazing opportunities. I was able to enter the operating room and converse with the actual surgeons about different techniques and procedures.”

“Adelante was very efficient in finding me the perfect internship position with a mental health organization that works with people who have schizophrenia.”
