A Journey to Enlightenment
August 20, 2026by: Eva Garcia - American SamoaMy experience with the Absolute Internship abroad program was incredibly valuable and memorable. Spending 6 weeks in Madrid, Spain, allowed me to gain professional experience while also experiencing a new culture, work environment, and a new sense of independence. One of the highlights of the program was the opportunity to work at Asesoria Debe Haber Asociaciones, where I was able to develop skills in establishing new nonprofit national or local organizations by working on founding their board or statutes. The internship gave me a better understanding of my career interests and allowed me to apply what I have learned in school to a real-world environment while also educating myself on how this country's system differs from that of mine and learning how this can help me build upon my current professional knowledge. Outside of work, living in Madrid allowed me to explore new places, meet people from different backgrounds, and experience the local culture. The program staff was extremely supportive and helpful, making the transition to living abroad much easier. Although there were some challenges, such as adjusting to a new environment and working for the first time at a location that aligns with my professional goals, along with a slight language barrier, these experiences helped me grow personally and professionally. Overall, I would highly recommend this program to other students considering an internship abroad. It provided me with meaningful professional experience, unforgettable memories, and a greater sense of confidence and independence.
Best Summer of My Life
August 19, 2026by: Alexia Ahola - United StatesThroughout my 2 months living and working in Madrid, I absolutely fell in love with the city. The culture, food, social scene, and environment was unmatched. Thanks to Absolute, I met some of my best friends while abroad. I am so lucky to have found such an amazing group of people to share this experience with including our program coordinators who were the BEST. On top of my actual internship which gave me so many great connections, I truly built a life in Madrid during my time there. This summer has been the best of my life, I gained so many friendships, learned so much about myself, and experienced places and memories that will last a lifetime.

Absolute Internship Experience

4 Weeks I won’t forget.
August 03, 2026by: Jolomi Uvieghara - United KingdomSpending time in Madrid as part of a marketing placement was one of the best experiences I've had. It gave me the opportunity to develop practical marketing skills in an international environment while learning from talented people with different perspectives. Every day brought new challenges that helped me grow both professionally and personally. Outside of work, Madrid was an amazing city to explore. From the food and culture to the lively atmosphere, there was always something new to experience. One of the biggest highlights was the friendships I made along the way. I met incredible people from around the world, and together we created memories that I'll always look back on fondly. This experience boosted my confidence, improved my communication skills, and gave me a greater appreciation for working in a multicultural environment. I would highly recommend an opportunity like this to anyone looking to gain valuable experience, meet amazing people, and enjoy life in one of Europe's most vibrant cities.
Absolute Internship Madrid 2025
July 09, 2026by: Enrica Favaron - ItalyI joined Absolute Internship in the summer of 2025 for a 4-week internship in Madrid, Spain, and by the time the program ended, my only regret was not signing up for the full 8 weeks! My experience in Madrid was truly unforgettable and helped me grow both professionally and personally. Through my internship, I gained valuable hands-on experience while also building meaningful friendships with students from all over the world. Living abroad allowed me to expand my international network, immerse myself in Spanish culture, and significantly improve my Spanish language skills. One of the things that stood out the most was the incredible support provided by the Absolute Internship team. From the onboarding process to the on-site assistance throughout the program, everything was well organized. The Program Coordinators made every student feel welcome from day one and fostered a genuine sense of community through social events, cultural activities, and weekend trips that made the experience even more memorable.

Would recommend to EVERYONE
August 22, 2025by: EvaParticipating in Absolute Internship was one of the most transformative experiences of my college career. From start to finish, the program was well-organized and supportive, making what could have been an intimidating leap feel exciting and achievable. I was matched with an internship that fit my career interests and challenged me to develop new skills and adapt to a truly global work environment. The cultural immersion was unforgettable, and I met so many people with different perspectives and backgrounds that shifted my perspective as well. The Absolute team was always accessible, checking in regularly and providing resources to help me make the most of my time abroad. What I appreciated most was how personalized the experience felt. I wasn’t just placed in an internship and left on my own. I had guidance, networking opportunities, and a community of others to share the journey with. I came home more confident, more independent, and with a much clearer sense of my professional goals.
Time in Madrid
July 10, 2025by: Cecilia Cabrera - United StatesAbsolute Internship did a great job at organizing events and dinners, that way people in the program was able to meet new people and get to talk to everyone in the program.

Transformative Internship Experience
December 04, 2024by: Lina Haas - United StatesMy experience with Absolute Internship was phenomenal. The support before, during and after my experience was more than I could have ever planned on. I was provided the opportunity to intern at a company in my field of study, marketing, and preferred industry, fashion! I learned valuable hands on professional skills while growing personal skills. I can not recommend an internship abroad with Absolute more to any undergraduate student interested in gaining cultural understanding and working experience.

September 19, 2024by: Preston Files - United StatesAbsolutely loved my experience with Absolute Internship in Madrid! As a finance student at UGA, I was eager to dive into something that went beyond the classroom, and this program really delivered. Living in Madrid was a blast! I not only got to work in a dynamic business environment, but I also picked up a ton of cultural insights that align perfectly with my interest in International Business. The Absolute Internship allowed me to apply what I’ve learned in school to real-world situations, which was super rewarding. Weekends were the best part—traveling with other interns to cool spots and even taking a train to the beautiful coast of Malaga was unforgettable. It was a great mix of education and fun! Absolute organized weekend travel that was so cool, and it was great we got to travel as a group. Overall, this internship was a game changer for me.

Best summer in Madrid!
September 18, 2024by: Andrea Dominguez - United StatesMy internship in Madrid was such a transformative experience. I studied International Relations & Global Studies in undergrad and worked at a local non-profit organization in Madrid that supports those who have been displaced due to economical crisis, addiction, or other causes. Working here helped me grow as a young professional while also getting to make meaningful change in people's lives. Additionally, I made some of the greatest friendships and memories through my internship at Absolute while also getting to travel around Spain!

Time in Madrid
June 26, 2024by: Dylan Stepherson - United StatesMadrid was such a great place to study. Madrid is very big so there's a lot of different things to do. From parks, great food, people, fun clubs, and things to see. I had my own room with a gym in the basement, so I really coudnt have asked for better housing. I also was able to travel around Spain alot, for fairly cheap. Overall unforgettable trip The places I would recommend are Tiki Taco, the Reina Sofía, El Retiro Park, a tour of Real Madrid stadium, Wow Hall, Icon, El Capital, Divorare sandwiches, any rooftop bar, brutal bar, and Tierra Burrito Bar. Also Zara, has such good prices and catalogs. 10x better than American Zaras
