CEA CAPA Internships in Barcelona, Spain

Hi everyone! My name is Audrey Planner and I had the amazing opportunity to take part in a global internship this past summer in Barcelona, Spain. I pursued this opportunity because I wanted to have an internship during the summer, but I also wanted to go abroad. By pursuing this program, I was able to do both. I traveled almost every weekend to new countries and wandered Barcelona during the week allowing myself to get immersed in numerous cultures. Barcelona was the perfect location for numerous reasons. I practiced my Spanish speaking skills, lived in a non-touristy part of town but was only a metro ride from hot spots of Barcelona, I felt super safe throughout my entire trip, and the list continues. While in Barcelona, I participated in a full internship at the same time, developing my professional skills, Spanish speaking skills, and exposure to real-life work experience. I really enjoyed being able to work abroad to see the differences between business in Spain and business in America. Overall, I gained more from my experience than I thought possible. I truly believe I have developed new qualities, giving me different insights on going about certain situations, I gained and developed friendships that are so wonderful to continue building on at campus, I made memories that will last a lifetime, and so much more. I could not recommend abroad experiences more.

Cea CAPA was a very nice program, that supported their students and Made sure we were okay. The field trips were truly amazing. The housing options can use some improvement like more options. And students need to have a higher chance of getting their options.
The internships felt like free labor instead of a working experience.
The program is quite expensive. Cea CAPA was good but it has room for improvement.
I truly enjoyed my time there, the classes and hours of my internship were well shared and I had time to travel on weekends.

As a Queer and Non-Binary individual, I wanted to make sure I felt safe and seen abroad and this program did a great job at doing so! I felt included in everything going on and the staff at my program especially made sure I was involved in the things I wanted to be involved in! Additionally, my internship as a Marketing & Classroom Support intern at a local preschool strengthened by abilities in Marketing and I was able to professionally develop my experience in the field of Marketing as well as have so much fun working with children.

Interning abroad in Barcelona was an incredible experience, and I couldn't have asked for better support throughout the process. The CEA CAPA Barcelona team was amazing from start to finish, providing tons of guidance and ensuring that the internship selection process was smooth and stress-free. They also organized a variety of events that allowed me to connect with other students in my program, many of whom have become lifelong friends. In addition to the fantastic internship experience, CEA planned unforgettable trips to other cities, making my time in Spain even more memorable. Overall, it was a life-changing opportunity that I will cherish forever.

I loved my internship & study program in Barcelona, Spain because I met and learned from many different walks of life. As someone who wants to live and work in international business one day, this was the experience of a lifetime. I worked my first hybrid job and had the opportunity to practice my Spanish language skills everywhere I went! I also met some amazing professors and employers who made my experience worthwhile. I still keep in touch with my employers and classmates from my time abroad, and I miss every second of it!

I cannot say enough good things about this program. I studied abroad with CEA CAPA Spring of 2023 my third year of university in Barcelona, Spain. I opted to do their internship program add on as well. CEA set me up in an incredible apartment in the city center, a 15 minute walk away from our school. All of my credits transferred to my regular uni helping me to graduate from college a semester early! I also loved my internship they found for me, I learned a lot of Spanish and gained computer skills

This past fall semester I studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain with CEA CAPA Abroad. My experience overall was great and I am so happy I chose this program! I received a lot of information and support from the program beforehand. My housing was amazing and I had a really nice dorm that had a cooking materials and cleaners weekly. My academics were mostly good, I had two classes with one professor that were a bit harder than I thought. The social scene in Barcelona is extraordinary and I had a lot of fun with my classmates. The culture and history in Barcelona is rich and I really enjoyed learning about it and living in such a cool place. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to others.

CEA CAPA Barcelona was a fantastic way to experience Europe for the first time. Classes were held Monday-Thursday, so long weekends were great for traveling. Barcelona was a phenomenal city to call home for 3.5 months. CEA CAPA prepared students to go abroad with a step-by-step pre-departure process that made the logistics of going abroad far less daunting. While we were there, CEA CAPA provided us with cultural workshops, optional trips to explore other parts of Spain, and more. CEA CAPA has a great selection of housing options and courses.
