Finance Internships abroad in Spain | Intern Abroad HQ

During my remote internship, I have learned more about different financial approaches used between the US and Spain. I have learned a lot in the week and the topics that are required for me to educate myself on are topics that I’ve never had experience in having. I have taken a lot of college courses and I have yet to learn about double taxation in my classes. I love the supervisors that I am working with that are not only willing to teach me but are eager to answer questions I may have. In the short term, these activities have been helpful in learning about the international business that is happening behind the scenes of businesses that conduct business from places other than the US. In the long term, this has really opened my eyes on the differences between Spain and the US, financially.

Looking back on the internship, I was expecting the people I worked with to be more authoritative. However, they were always willing to listen to me and willing to change things if I wanted the program to be adapted in any way. They ensured that the internship program was focused on assisting me to learn. One overarching topic that I focused on was learning about the issues/aspects affecting international business. I think this can be very useful for my future long-term goals. With the world becoming more globalized, having this knowledge will be important no matter where I end up. I learned about international trade concepts and gained an understanding of how current events affect business. And of course, I assisted in projects whenever needed. I am really glad I got to take-away more knowledge about international trade/transactions. Overall, the outcome of the internship went well and I am glad I did it!

My internship was such a valuable experience and I learned so much! The experience gave me the unique opportunity to be involved in literature analysis, research proposal design, data analysis and presentation of findings. I am very grateful for the opportunity to take my first attempt at all of those aspects of an animal-related research project and I learned a tremendous amount about bottlenose dolphins that I would not have the opportunity to, as I am a Companion Animal Biology major. This experience will assist me in my future work in the animal science/veterinary medicine field and diversify my experience. Most importantly, it has deepened my commitment to conservation and protection of all animals based on gaining a deeper understanding of their behaviors and needs.
