DO AN INTERNSHIP IN SPAIN DURING YOUR GAP YEAR
Our internship programmes in Spain are designed for students and young professionals who wish to gain work experience abroad. We work in cooperation with Spanish companies and organisations in different sectors such as business, tourism and culture.
One of our partners offers the ‘Internship in SPAIN’ programme.
This ‘Internship Gap Year’ programme allows you to gain real experience in the sector of your choice, at a company in Valencia. Our partner will help you choose from a wide range of sectors (commerce, sales, accounting, architecture, etc.) to find the internship that suits you best, which will help you build good references and skills in the sector of your choice, as well as your language skills (unpaid internship).
This programme, which allows you to do an internship in Spain, is not only a professional experience, but also an opportunity to:
– develop and create a global network
– discover how your chosen sector operates on a global scale by working for a company based in Spain
– work with international colleagues in a diverse working environment
– improve your future job opportunities
– make new friends
This programme can be combined with parallel Spanish courses.
The cost of a gap year in Spain depends on many factors, such as the length of stay, the city of residence, the type of accommodation and the desired standard of living. In general, larger cities such as Madrid and Barcelona have a higher cost of living than medium-sized cities such as Valencia or Seville.
In terms of accommodation, the monthly cost of a shared flat in Madrid ranges between 500 and 700 euros, while in Valencia it is between 400 and 500 euros. Food costs average between 150 and 250 euros per month, depending on the lifestyle.
FEEDUC can help you at every stage of your Gap Year project in Spain, from finding volunteer or internship programmes to finding accommodation or insurance. We are here to answer all your questions and help you organise your stay in Spain from A to Z.
