Janessa T. – Translation Internship Program

I am having a wonderful week; thank you! The sun has been shining a lot over here which has been wonderful. It is starting to feel like spring already which apparently begins around this time here in Seville.

Life in Seville is going well. This is an incredible city where you are never really lacking something to do. There is always some event to attend or site to go explore or learn about which has been really fun!

Fiona E. – Human Rights/Non-Profit

Adelante truly is a wonderful program from beginning to end! They were very prompt in responding to my initial interest and setting up a first phone call, followed by comprehensive guidance before my arrival in Spain. I told Adelante my field of interest and they found a perfect internship for me in Sevilla. The two weeks of Spanish class prior to the internship were also excellent; the school had wonderful professors and organized free, fun cultural excursions we could participate in after class. The Adelante staff was incredibly supportive and checked in with me regularly. The on-site people provided airport pickup, accompanied me to the first day of my internship, and organized a flamenco show excursion for all Adelante interns. They care a lot about each individual intern and were very helpful in resolving any questions or concerns. The program is perfect for people who enjoy independence with accessible support when needed. I felt very comfortable in Sevilla and enjoyed the opportunity to shape the experience around my interests. I have been having an amazing cultural experience in Sevilla thus far. I attended the Féria last week. During the day it was the most beautiful fashion show, the ladies so elegantly dressed and proud to strut around in their flamenco dresses and at night it was like a dreamland with all the lights.

Internships in Seville run YEAR-ROUND. Begin any month of the year or take advantage of our mid-May start date (May 13th, 2019) to beat the summer crowds!
