Placements are available in sports centers, consulting firms, tech companies, tourism businesses and even at professional soccer/football teams. Interns are able to request a placement in a particular industry or express a preference for the type of work you want to be involved in. Due to the breadth of possible placements, the nature of interns duties can vary greatly. General duties can include (but may not be limited to):

• Analyzing financial data
• Financial report writing
• Writing investment proposals
• Producing tax documents
• Reporting on financial markets
• Managing financial project operations

Internships typically require collaboration and assistance with a number of team members, as specific activities will depend on the internship placements current needs, projects and client requests. You’ll be supported by a qualified mentor who can provide key advice and support when it comes to financial management and processes in Spain. As an intern, you will need good time management and organizational skills. You’ll be willing to use your initiative when it comes to finding solutions and be open to assisting with a wide range of tasks.

Spanish language proficiency is not a requirement to join. However, interns should expect that a language barrier can still be encountered to a certain extent. Interns should be prepared for the very natural and normal frustration of not always understanding what is being said around them. Come prepared and willing to surmount a language barrier (and ask for help when needed), as opposed to being intimidated by it.

This internship includes five complimentary Spanish language lessons, which must be scheduled within the first two weeks of the internship. These should be considered mandatory for anyone who is not already a fluent Spanish speaker. Any additional Spanish language lessons must be coordinated and paid for separately. We encourage all interns to take advantage of the opportunity to learn some Spanish skills during their program (or develop their existing vocabulary).

In all cases, interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, as you will not “hit the ground running”. Rather, you should start with learning about the placement to gain an understanding of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.

Understand and expect that individual internship experiences vary, as the specific placement that you’re assigned will depend on review of your resume and your current level of studies and experience. Therefore, if you’re at a more introductory level, you should reasonably expect a more introductory internship. Likewise, if you’re interning for a shorter duration, you will have a different experience from someone who is interning for a longer duration. Placement preferences are considered but always subject to availability.

Typical Schedule

• The typical working schedule depends on both your and your placement’s availability. Interns can work only in the morning, only in the afternoon, or full business days, from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
