About Program

The city of Barcelona is the beating metropolitan heart of the Mediterranean. In addition to a colorful culture and year round warmer climes, this Spanish city equally has a great deal to offer in the way of a hustling, bustling business hub.

Barcelona is home to Spain’s most successful technology companies and continues to attract bigger technological brand names as an ideal and innovative European base. This includes Hewlett-Packard, King.com (the gaming giants behind Candy Crush) and Telefónica (the Spanish telecoms company). It is also currently the host of the Mobile World Congress, world's largest exhibition for the mobile industry.

Yes, I recommend this program

Amazing experience- highly recommend

May 10, 2016

It was a great time and I was made to feel welcome from the very first day. The coordinator met me in Placa Catalunya and introduced me to the rest of the group (I arrived a day late). The welcome week was so fun. Not only did we get a chance to party but we also had some Spanish lessons, went to restaurants for local food and went to the beach.

Regarding the internship, I feel like I was placed in a perfect company for me. I am passionate about the technology sector and my internship was with a company that was able to teach me so much, especially about programming which was my main interest. Intern-Tech also arranged for me to talk to the company before starting my placement, which made me feel better about going all the way to Europe.

I already miss Barcelona and all of the friends that I made there.

What would you improve about this program?
I honestly enjoyed everything about the program. If I could change anything it would be to stay longer in Barcelona.

What is your favorite travel memory?

When I was a teenager living in Jordan, we went on a trip to Egypt with my family. I remember how excited I was by the rich history, the vivid colors and the different tastes.

I won’t forget the shop owners offering camels in exchange of young girls, presenting this part of their ‘culture’, in the Al-Halil market.

It was one of the trips that woke up my interest in learning about different cultures and ensured me that traveling would become one of my favorite hobbies. Returning to Egypt as an adult is one thing pending in my to-do list.

How would you describe the ideal candidate for this program?

The ideal candidate is a person who is curious, passionate and open to learn from new cultures. At the same time they need to be able to respect the differences.

The candidate should be ready to face new challenges, to work in a new diversified atmosphere and be in international groups.

He/she should be willing to socialize and gain new skills and knowledge through meeting and working with other people with various cultural backgrounds.

What are some extra-curricular activities interns participate in during this program?

Both Barcelona and London are cities that have a variety of things to offer to cover different people’s needs. While we encourage interns to be independent and give them tips on what to explore, we also provide them with some activities that we believe the interns cannot miss during their stay at their preferred destination.

These activities range from daily excursions to cities nearby, to experiencing local habits that tourists don’t usually see. Some examples for Barcelona include: tapas/paella dinners, day trip to Sitges or the opportunity to see FC Barcelona play live. For London these might include Mile End Rock climbing, day trips to Oxford and many more.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

The fact that our programs are customizable. We take into account the different needs of the students as they are able to choose from a range of different services, making their experience more unique.

Another factor is that, in order for us to provide the students with the most valuable internship experience, we understand the importance of building strong relationships with our partners. That’s why our offices are in the two locations our programs are running. It also ensures that the students have an ongoing support as they can contact us any time.
