Art & Fine Arts Internships in Madrid

I would like to update my review about my experience with Adelante - I spent the first month of my trip living in a non-air-conditioned room that was actually assigned to me from the Spanish School nearby, Eureka. The last two weeks of my internship were spent taking classes with Eureka, and these two weeks of Spanish school are part of the deal that Adelante coordinates for you. Unfortunately, I had spent my last two weeks taking Spanish classes with Eureka rather than my first two weeks in Madrid, which is not what is advertised by Adelante. However, I believe this was the case due to the fact that most Spanish businesses are taking a break during the months of July-August; I also speak Spanish fairly well so this wasn't much of a problem, but this is something to keep in mind. To reiterate my point, I am updating my review because I realize that my "no AC complaint" was mostly out of Adelante's hands. Additionally, my negative experiences with the boss of my work placement aren't completely in Adelante's power as well, as Adelante's main job is to secure an internship placement, and I assume that they weren't made aware that my boss would make my work experience unenjoyable prior to placing me there. Adelante has also reached out reimburse my software license that I paid out of pocket, which I appreciate. In hindsight, I had a much better experience in Madrid than I initially described in my first review - if I could do another internship or job abroad I'd do it in a heartbeat, because any big city in Europe has a ton to offer, especially when you are young and developing your career and interests.

My internship in Madrid with Absolute was a life-changing experience. I gained invaluable professional skills and had an incredible time exploring the city. The support from the Absolute team was fantastic from start to finish. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to intern abroad!
