I was with the Intern Group for an internship this summer and I have to say it was one of the best experiences of my entire life. For the cost (especially compared to other programs), it was totally worth it. I loved the Spanish culture and workplace I interned at and I got to meet up with people from completely different parts of the world, which was enlightening to say the least. Highly recommend it (especially if you have a scholarship/grants that can pay for it) and would do it again if I could.

Everyone from The Intern Group was super helpful and easy to contact! Easy to meet other interns due to events and a welcome meet-up at the start. Really nice accommodation and good location with easy public transport to the city centre. Clear check-in / check-out process. The internship was a great learning experience, everyone from the company was really welcoming and willing to help me out. I always had something to do and was given clear instructions for tasks. Would recommend to anyone looking for more experience!

Spending a summer away in Madrid was truly a surreal experience. I think for me the most enjoyable part of this journey was to actually step outside of my comfort zone as travelling to a new country, language, environment on your own is certainly a challenge, but one I think everyone should experience! I highly recommend this program if you are someone who loves to travel and explore new cultures, however I’d recommend this program even more to those who would like to challenge themselves, step outside of their comfort zones and build themselves as a person and as a professional.

I had such a great experience with The Intern Group! The whole process was really helpful and well-organized, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to intern abroad. My internship in Madrid gave me valuable professional experience while also allowing me to experience a new culture and meet so many great people. I learned a lot, both personally and professionally, and I would definitely recommend The Intern Group to anyone looking for an international internship experience! I would do this again if I could!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

Pros

Beautiful surroundings
Personal growth

I really enjoyed my time in Madrid. This was my first time in Europe, and it did not disappoint. Whether it was the people or the places, they all made this trip eventful and a lifelong memory.

Before I left, I honestly didn't know what to expect. I had heard stories from friends who studied abroad, but nothing quite prepares you for actually living in a new country, navigating a different culture, and figuring out how to get around a city you've never seen before. Madrid welcomed me in a way I didn't anticipate. The city has this incredible rhythm to it: long, slow dinners that start late in the evening, a plaza on nearly every corner where people gather just to talk, and a pace of life that somehow feels both relaxed and full of energy at the same time. I quickly fell into that rhythm myself, and by the end of the program it felt less like a place I was visiting and more like a place I had actually lived.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

If I had to pick the most surprising part of the whole trip, it would easily be the weekend a group of us traveled to Pamplona for San Fermin. Seeing the running of the bulls in person, and being surrounded by a tradition that's been passed down for centuries, was unlike anything I had ever witnessed. The energy in the streets, the history behind the festival, and the sheer scale of the celebration made it a moment I'll be talking about for years.

Pros

Good Food
New People
Beautiful Views

What other participants should know

Housing was rough sometimes
language barrier
missing friends and home

I loved my time in Madrid, 2 months is almost the perfect amount of time to be away and it is a beautiful city. The intern group did a great job of answering all my questions and concerns. I met so many new people as well. I lived in a house of 20 people and they were all super nice people and connections that I will have for a long time. The house we lived in was also super nice we had our own bed and bathrooms as well as air conditioning in all the rooms. We did have to change places a couple times but the end result was a good living situation.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

I think the most surprising thing I did was being able to travel so much, my friends went to beautiful places like Ibiza as well as many other cities in Spain.

Pros

New Friends
Seeing new things
More work experience

What other participants should know

Housing difficulties
Homesick
Very hot

My time in Madrid was the best three months of my life; I learned so much about myself and was able to meet a bunch of new people. I loved how easygoing Madrid was, from the transportation to how nice the people were. I was able to experience the Madrid culture and try new foods. It took a little bit to get used to the 9-hour time difference and the late dinners. I also loved how easy it was to travel around Europe because Madrid has easy access to trains and flights. Lastly, I had the best roommates and made lifelong memories.
The Intern Group was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. More specifically, Lalita and Corinne were so helpful while being in Madrid. Anytime I had a question, they were able to answer it very quickly. Also, getting to be in a group with other interns made the experience a lot easier because we were able to connect and relate to each other's experiences. I was able to make lifelong friends with some of the people in the group.
The Bubble (the company that I worked with) made it very welcoming and allowed me to ask any questions that I was unsure about. They gave me many hands-on tasks, which I am grateful for because I gained a lot of experience.
Overall, Madrid makes it extremely easy to adapt to and is a great place to do an internship. There is always something to do, and you will 100% make lifelong memories and friendships.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

If I did this all over again, I would try to pack lightly because I did a lot of shopping in Madrid. I would also try to meet new people sooner and build those connections because I made a lot of friends within the last month, as I felt more comfortable.

Pros

The intern group made it easier to make friends and explore Madrid outside of work.
I gained international work experience, built professional skills, and met people from different backgrounds
Although I was already fluent in Spanish, daily conversations in Madrid helped me perfect my pronunciation, natural expressions, and confidence

What other participants should know

housing could be better location wise and make sure it has all the amenities that were in the contract
pricing of the internship is quite expensive
I wish group outings were told a few weeks in advance

More friends I made from the Intern group

I had a good experience with The Intern Group during my summer internship in Spain. They made the process of moving to a new country and starting an internship easier by providing support throughout the experience. My internship gave me valuable professional experience and allowed me to build on my skills. Beyond the internship, living in Madrid was an amazing opportunity to experience a new culture, meet new people, and travel around Europe. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Intern Group to anyone looking to gain work experience abroad while having an unforgettable summer experience.

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you choose this program?

The Intern Group, with its wide range of opportunities abroad, came at a perfect time. They were very helpful in terms of getting the most appropriate internship for me and were ready to help with any questions I had.

Madrid ended up being my chosen destination because I’ve always wanted to go to Spain. This also seemed like the perfect opportunity to put my bilingual skills to the test.

What did your program provider assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

I found this opportunity through my Golden Key Honour Society membership. Everything after that, I basically organized with the Intern Group, which provided me with a number of pre-departure materials and informational videos about the workplace in Spain.

The Intern Group also helped me in terms of creating a more complete CV and found me an internship that pushed not only my academic knowledge to the test, but also made my own experiences as an immigrant be put to good use.

View Entire Interview

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

I would tell them to make the best of it. Remember that while you are there to work, you are also there to enjoy yourself. Go out with your flatmates, explore the city, and most importantly, travel! I myself went into the program thinking only of my job and how I wanted to be successful at it (which is important). In the end, I came out with new friends and a wide range of experiences that I will always treasure in my heart!

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

You'll go to work in the morning, and if you're going to Spain, expect to take long lunch breaks with your colleagues. If you go during the summer, you'll usually be able to leave the office around 3 PM. Normally, however, they tend to work late in Spain.

The Intern Group has a wide range of activities organized for you throughout your stay. We, for example, were able to see an authentic Flamenco show, went to the Bernabéu Stadium, and had a day trip to Toledo. These were the activities we paid for in advance. Throughout the week, there are also events such as bowling with other interns and having a picnic at the park.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

My biggest fear was that I would not feel comfortable where I lived or with whom I lived. I overcame it by actually making the effort to get to know the people around me. In the end, I got to make friendships that I believe will last a lifetime.

My views changed because I realized we were all fearing the same thing, and therefore the only way to overcome it was to become friends and make the best of our time in Madrid.

Some more advice..

If you're going abroad, you should be open to new experiences and remember that you are in a new country with people who will likely have different mindsets than you. This should not be a scary thing but quite the contrary as there is no better opportunity to learn and grow than when you are in a completely different setting.

I would also advise that you make the effort to speak and learn the language because it will make your experience much more rewarding and those who receive you in their country much more likely to be open and friendly to you.

Lalita Benavides

Program

International Internships in Madrid with The Intern Group

Job Title

Director, Intern Spain

Lalita was born in Utrera-Seville and got her degree in International and Commercial Secretariat from the British Chamber of Commerce of Seville. She also trained in Emotional Intelligence and developed her career at a Multinational firm over the course of twenty years. During her time there she worked directly with the Company’s President of Europe and the COO. Lalita is well skilled and accustomed to working in International Environments. She has wide and comprehensive experience in Management and Business, and now directs internships in Spain.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

People, including leaders, are what bring success to a company. This success depends heavily on human resources and the strategies used in this field. It is difficult to innovate and develop attractive products and services without qualified and motivated people. Leaders and teams with values, qualities and strengthened capacities for projection are key to meeting targets. Because of that, it is really important to have on the job training and courses provided to all members of the team.

What country have you always wanted to visit?

I am grateful to be able to say that I have travelled a lot through out my life, but there are many places still left that I want to see. I believe that travelling for work and for pleasure is a key part of learning and understanding the planet we live on and the people we share this world with. If I had to choose a place to go right now then I would choose Patagonia. I have always wanted to visit the National Park Perito Moreno which is home to one of the most famous and impressive glaciers.

Why is language learning and cultural immersion important to you?

It is life changing. Cultural immersion offers us a great opportunity for personal and social development. Getting to know the culture of another country and understand daily life in other places, allows us to change our vision of the world and of ourselves. It is also a way of knowing ourselves and learning how to manage certain situations and new opportunities. Traveling, meeting new people and new cultures helps us define our personality and discover new values. Without understanding other cultures we can never really experience life fully. To close yourself off to other cultures is to close yourself off to ideas, innovation, experience. Many people travel without fully immersing themselves. I am here to encourage our students to live like we live in Spain. Of course sometimes you might want to eat your traditional food, but while on the program we encourage everyone to eat Spanish food, learn Spanish phrases and understand our history and culture.

What was your favorite traveling experience?

I travelled around India and that was an incredible experience for me. I learnt a lot about many human values. It taught me (forced me to learn!) how to do the “switch” in my mind to drop my Western patterns in so many senses. It offered me the great opportunity to get under the skin of many people of all kinds and classes. It is an experience that I have repeated for several years and that has changed my worldview. Nevertheless, India is just one example of many. I really believe that our favorite travelling experience should be, and probably is, simply the act of travelling. There is no right or wrong destination because everywhere has something to offer us in terms of experiential learning. Some things will affect us more than others, perhaps the food in one place, the kindness of the people in another place, but it is the act of travelling that will enrich our lives.

What language have you always wanted to learn and why?

I always wanted to learn English and I am very proud that I was able to learn it because it is a key tool for communication when you are abroad. English enriches your experience of knowing the world and it is a must in a CV. Apart from English, of course I believe that my mother tongue, Spanish, is a very important language because it is spoken in so many different countries and means that I have been able to talk to people all over The Americas. Apart from those two key languages, I would love to learn a language with a different alphabet because I think it could be a great challenge for me and language learning is great ‘exercise’ for your brain!
