AIFS Abroad Internships in Barcelona, Spain

I decided to go abroad with AIFS because they made the idea of interning internationally feel possible and supported. I participated in the Spring Internship Program in Barcelona, Spain, and it ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. Being able to live abroad while gaining real work experience was something I’ll always be grateful for. The AIFS staff were incredible before, during, and even after the program. The Barcelona office was always there for us, whether we needed help or just reassurance, and the included cultural activities and trips were such a bonus. They made it so easy to explore the city and feel immersed in the culture. Through this program, I gained professional skills, confidence, and friendships that will last forever. It pushed me outside my comfort zone in the best way possible, and I truly grew so much as a person. I would recommend AIFS Abroad to anyone looking to grow personally and professionally while exploring the world.

I am a junior at Salisbury University, majoring in Graphic Design with a minor in Spanish, I had the incredible opportunity to complete a three month internship in Barcelona through the AIFS program. This experience was nothing short of life-changing. I interned with La Comet, a fashion company in Barcelona, where I contributed to their marketing efforts. The internship not only allowed me to grow professionally but also introduced me to an amazing network of supportive and inspiring individuals. My mentor, Inma López, was a standout part of this journey. Her guidance, care, and encouragement helped me accomplish my goals. She consistently showed her dedication to her students, making the experience truly unforgettable. I only wish I had more time to learn from her beyond our meetings and final check-ins. AIFS made it possible for me to form meaningful connections and immerse myself in a vibrant culture. This program has left me with memories and relationships I will always cherish, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunities it provided.

I completed the internship program in Barcelona, Spain and it was easily one of the best times of my life. My internship coordinator, Inma, went above and beyond to place me in an amazing internship with a great company. The staff overall was very helpful and supportive, and they offered many opportunities for us to explore the culture and go on excursions. I don't have a bad thing to say. Why wait?
