Fantastic experience!

The Intern Group was great in facilitating internships abroad! My destination trip was Madrid, where I stayed for 6 weeks, and I can't emphasize enough how life-changing the experience was. Lalita and Nikte were extremely supportive and ensured the needs of all interns were met.

Overall, I've made some amazing friends and got exactly the type of work experience I was looking for. If you're thinking of applying to build your resume or make long-lasting friends/memories, I highly recommend it!

Plan an itinerary before travelling! There's so much to do, it can be overwhelming at times.

8 week program in Madrid

I had such an amazing experience in Madrid this summer. I loved the company I was working for and I learned so much about my field, both in general and in an international context. It was super easy to make friends with other interns. The social events set up by TIG gave us the opportunity to not only explore the city and adjacent towns, but also build a community with other interns. I could not have been more satisfied with my experience and I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in international travel.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
There were definitely moments where the language gap was frustrating, especially in moments where I needed to understand what was going on around me. However because of the friendships I made with fellow interns, it was easier to overcome
Pros
  • Learned the language
  • Developed professionally
  • Enjoyed the city as a local
Cons
  • Unpaid work
  • Expensive
  • Lonesome at times

Amazing experience, highly recommend!

The experience itself was amazing - Madrid is an incredible city, especially for younger people.

First and foremost, the team at TIG is splendid. Extremely kind and supportive. As an intern, I felt like I barely took care of any logistics, as everything was taken care of for me, and any issues that I faced I was supported throughout. Big thank you to Lalita for all her help while I was here, when I needed anything. And also a big thank you to Nikte, event coordinator, who planned fun and unique events and was also there to listen if we needed any help. Truly enjoyed meeting both of them!

Transport system is great and extremely cheap compared to other cities (8 euros for a month of bus/metro pass). So much culture, art, food, dance, etc. In a city like this you really have to immerse yourself to live the best experience. So if you are someone that loves culture and exploring, you will love Madrid. Everything is so close if you live in the center, max 15 minute walk to almost everything.

Only feedback I would give to future interns is actually just a disclaimer - the summer here is very hot (but manageable, as it is dry warmth), and travelling outside of Madrid is at its peak in terms of how expensive it gets to travel in Europe!

Again, I would highly recommend and will look back at this experience with a sense of gratitude, not only for the professional skills and insights I gained but also for the amazing time I had in Madrid, meeting great people, learning new things, and growing personally.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
SO MUCH JÁMON!!
Pros
  • Sunny

  • Cheap
Cons

Amazing Experience!

The Intern Group program was an amazing experience! I was in Madrid, Spain for 8 weeks and I learned so much about the culture and the language. I have always wanted to go to Spain, and I’m so glad i found this program. They provided a remote internship to me so I was able to travel around Spain and other parts of Europe. The people within the program were so friendly and so fun. I met so many new friends. This was an experience I will never forget and would love to do again. I highly recommend The Intern Group!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
When in Valencia, I ate “Conejo” which is Rabbit, in my Paella.

Loved it

I loved my time in Madrid, the activities put on by Nikte were really fun and the city is beautiful. The group was really nice and everyone was very friendly and fun, I would strongly recommend this trip to anyone who is thinking about an internship abroad! Also the actual internship was a great learning experience I learnt much and feel like I am a lot more prepped for the next stage in my career now. I found that most of the others on the group were of the mindset as me and this made bonding and activities very easy and fun

Pros
  • Friendship
  • Fun
  • Learning
Cons
  • Room wasn’t ideal
  • Heat especially in later June was tough

Highly recommend experience

I did the full 6 months in Madrid for my year in industry as part of my Bachelor's degree and I loved every second of it. From the second I landed in Madrid, I felt so exceptionally supported by TIG from the private driver to take me to the amazing Flat to the invaluable support from Laltia and Nikte. I had the pleasure of befriending numerous individuals from a multitude of countries that will last a lifetime. Every week Nik organized so many different amazing events ranging from essential Madrid experiences to uncovering hidden local gems, you'll never find yourself with nothing to do in Madrid and I would like to thank Nik for her hard work :)

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Even though I was there for 6 months it still felt like 6 seconds, so I would recommend taking advantage of every second of free time so you can make the most of your experience in Madrid.
Pros
  • Getting to make new friends from people arround the world
  • The organised event from Nik
  • Support from Nik and Lalita
Cons
  • Price

Interning in Madrid - The Intern Group

Interning in Madrid was one of the best experiences of my life, and has left me with lifelong skills, memories and friends. My two months felt like just two seconds, but were packed with so much fun and learning. The Intern Group was amazing in organising my work placement and accommodation, and ensuring that my time in Madrid was enjoyable and safe.
This program allows for professional development and first-hand industry experience alongside cultural immersion and the adventure of travel, and if you have the means to participate I highly recommend you take the opportunity!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take advantage of the opportunities from the very first moment! Madrid offers so many things to do and see, and Madrileños are so friendly and always happy to share their recommendations for the best tapas spots or bars.

Amazing Internship

I liked the opportunity to experience an intership abroad and my destination (Madrid) was incredible. I believe that the initial investment that you do it's totally worth it, considering all the help The Intern Group provides you and the activities they organise during our internship. I think that like any investment, at the beginning it is considerable and/or expensive, but totally worth it. It is a completely different experience that helped me professionally and the company where I did my internship amazing. Being in a program like this was amazing, I could visit a lot of cities in Spain and the EU and I could know a lot of cultures because it's easy to move around Europe. It's like being on vacations but with the opportunity to develop as a professional and as a person.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just apply and go for it. I highly recommend this program and the experience to live abroad and know another culture. It enriches you personally and professionally, it makes you stand out for future employment. The program makes you realise where you wanna live in the future.
Pros
  • Personal and professional growth
  • Visiting new places
  • Knowing and experience the life of a different culture.

Questions & Answers

Hi Verica! Whether these internships are paid or not is down to each specific placement company! However, their international internships do tend to be unpaid.

Hiya, Living situation wasn't bad at all, your usually with other interns. When I first got there I was a bit surprised at the flat as I thought it was going to be more like a uni halls or something, but the decor is quite dark and relatively small. Also had an oven that you had to light yourself which was an experience! Haha. But you get used to it really quickly and I loved my flat by the end. I...

I was in Madrid for two months and had prepared about €1600. I did budget and because I was very careful with money at the start I had quite a bit left over towards the end. It also depends on how much you eat out because that does get quite expensive.
