Program Overview

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 support your arrival; a good, clean, safe place to live; intensive Spanish classes to practice and improve your language skills; and a contracted internship placement with a local company and Spanish coworkers. The process worked, giving candidates the essential components needed to live abroad while still allowing them the independence to find their way in a new city and create their own unique experiences.

Fast forward to today, we have year-round programs in Spain, Chile, Mexico, Scotland, Uruguay, and Ecuador, plus summer programs in Scotland. The best part is that we pride ourselves on offering the most cost-effective, well-priced internship programs on the market.

Yosajandy BouslogUnited States · May 2024

I met some of the most incredible people, that I can call friends for the rest of my life!

I enjoyed my time in Barcelona very much. I was ecstatic to get there and start. When I first started it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Nonetheless, I enjoyed every minute of it. I have made some dear friends. I can say I will be back in Barcelona. I would recommend Adelante. Without them, none of this would have been possible. Spain in general is beautiful, but Barcelona has to be my favorite. It has everything. From mountains, oceans, beaches, forests, etc. They have the cold, breezy weather and the hot, humid weather.

Exploring Ecuador: 2 month internship

Working for a civil engineering and architecture firm in Ecuador was the best way I could have spend the summer before my senior year of college. The program staff did a great job of preparing me for what my experience was going to be like abroad. My time in Ecuador stated with two weeks of one-on-one Spanish classes which dramatically improved my ability to speak the language. I lived with an Ecuadorian family which also helped improved my Spanish skills. My host mom cooked incredible traditional food and informed me on the best places to visit throughout my time. During my internship, I learned specific vocabulary necessary for working in a construction field, learned the differences between construction and engineering requirements in Ecuador and in the States, and learned how to communicate professionally in Spanish. I spent all of my weekends exploring different cities and places in Ecuador and learning more about their culture. These two months were an incredible experience and I cannot wait to return to Latin America.
