International Internship Programs with Adelante Abroad

What is it really like living in another country and experiencing how the local people live? Want to know where to begin with this process? This is where Adelante Abroad comes in. Adelante Abroad was established to enable people to achieve their dream goals of living and interning abroad. Adelante has been in business since 1999, when we began with internship programs in Madrid. The program followed a simple formula - airport pickup and orientation to assist in your arrival; a good, clean, safe place to live; intensive Spanish classes to practice and improve your language skills; and a contracted internship placement working in a local company with Spanish coworkers. The process worked, providing candidates with the essential components needed to live abroad while still allowing them the independence to find their way in a new city and to create their own unique experiences. Fast forward to today, we now have year-round programs in Spain, Chile, Mexico, Scotland, Uruguay, Ecuador, and summer programs in Scotland. The best part is that we pride ourselves on being the most cost-effective and well-priced internship programs on the market.

I had my 4-week internship in-person in New York

Overall, the experience was a 10 out of 10. The Intern Group supported me and guided me throughout the entire process. Not only did I gain practical experience through my internship, but the social and cultural activities they organized every weekend—such as museum visits, cruises, and trips to amusement parks—were also wonderful. It was a great opportunity to learn a lot while having a fun and enjoyable time with other interns in New York. The accommodation was also excellent. I stayed in a self-contained apartment, and the location was very convenient.
