Madrid is a great place to intern abroad especially if it is your first time traveling alone. The locals are friendly, the public transportation is amazing, and I felt very safe throughout my entire experience. Absolute internship is a good option if you are lost trying to arrange an internship abroad. They will connect you with companies that align closely with your career goals and help to establish lasting connections to help you grow in your career. The program made it very easy to make friends to explore the city with.

Absolute internship not only provided me with lifelong friends and a summer full of memories, but it also provided me with professional experience. I was able to expand my network, with alumni and with people in Spain. Learning about the work, life balance in Spain was an eye opening experience because of how different it is from company cultures in the United States. The program sets up weekend trips, day trips, and cultural activities that were always a great time and the program coordinators have plenty of recommendations for food, nightlife, and travel!

Being able to work in Madrid with Absolute Internship was a life-changing experience. I gained real-life working experience, met great people, tried great food, and got to explore an amazing city oozing with culture. I would recommend this program to anyone eligible 11 our of 10 times!! And there is so much to do! Absolute Internship does an excellent job taking all of the students on several trips throughout the country and they were all a blast! This program has something for everyone, whether it be foodies, history buffs, night owls, culture enjoyers, etc.

Madrid was such a great place to study. Madrid is very big so there's a lot of different things to do. From parks, great food, people, fun clubs, and things to see. I had my own room with a gym in the basement, so I really coudnt have asked for better housing. I also was able to travel around Spain alot, for fairly cheap. Overall unforgettable trip

The places I would recommend are Tiki Taco, the Reina Sofía, El Retiro Park, a tour of Real Madrid stadium, Wow Hall, Icon, El Capital, Divorare sandwiches, any rooftop bar, brutal bar, and Tierra Burrito Bar.

Interning with Absolute was an investment that I did not expect to have such a big impact on me. It was my first solo endeavor abroad, living in my own terms, and working for a company full-time. The housing staff were amazing and I was able to get to know the city via locals on full 3 hour chats at the front desk. The Absolute Internship team were incredibly helpful from the start; since our first meeting to know more of my area to my positioning in a company, the job interview and on-site, the care the team shows to you in hopes of you having a wonderful experience is immense. Working on-site with the film production company was also amazing, getting to see their processes first hand and being involved in recordings, post-production and even having lunch with the co-workers. Living in Madrid was also incredible, it’s a vibrant and safe city in which you are able to explore many great historic places, eateries and meet great people. This program also allowed me to further enrich my résumé, also being able to meet my co-workers after the program ended back in my hometown to attend a film festival and getting to meet new film directors afterwards. It’s an investment that keeps on giving, as long as you just say ‘yes’ and take the plunge.

I really enjoyed my experience from minute 1 and I also loved how the enrolment side of things was fluid and free flowing. I applied early and the process was seemless. The social side was great as well as the placement and I would highly recommend the programme. The accommodation was great and located close by to the attractions of the city of Madrid so after working at my placement it wasn’t exhausting to go to places with the other interns on the program. All in all a great experience that I’d recommend

I have been working for 8 weeks as intern at OUTER Spain in Madrid, Spain. Under the guidance of my awesome boss Pilar, I had the opportunity to learn more about Communication and Marketing. We have been woking together for the World Corporate Golf Challenge, which is one the most established global B2B golf tournament in the world, open to top level executives who are passionated about golf. I have been given my contribution as for editing texts, preparing and sending interviews for the 2022 Final Magazine. I successfully achieved my internship’s goals in terms of planning and implementing the company’s social media strategy in order to increase awareness in light of the 2022 World Final. During those weeks I have been constantly working alongside copywriters and designers to ensure content was informative and appealing. Additionally, I have been learning how to analyse current social media trends and provide constructive feedbacks both qualitatively and quantitatively.

A huge thank you goes to OUTER Spain, my boss Pilar de la Puente and the rest of the Communication&Marketing department for the internship opportunity and for teaching me about communication and marketing practises over the summer. Lastly, an immense thank you goes to Absolute Internship, specifically to Sabrina Starke, Melissa Rodriguez, Virginia Alomar Lopez and Erin Bouwma for finding me a placement and for making my international experience possible and so memorable.

I was at first hesitant about joining a summer internship program with people i’ve never met before. I thought that the first couple of days would be awkward and would be lonely. But from the second I met my program colleagues at the airport is when I felt relaxed, at that moment I knew this was going to be an unforgettable experience.

Overall, I am very satisfied with everything that this program offered: the residence housing, the internship opportunity, the friends we met along the way, the front desk people at the residence, our program coordinators, and the “prison” food that we always miss when we’re away in the weekends.

I have achieved so much in a span of two months, even though the company I was working for was a startup under construction, I was working under full autonomy and on my own pace. I managed to create flyers from scratch that have now been printed and shared around the most important hotels in the city center! I also enjoyed learning the different cultures in the program and Spanish culture as a whole!

Highly recommended!
