Valencia

Term: Throughout the year 

Description: Fly into historic Valencia on Spain's sun drenched coast. You'll start with two week's Spanish lessons to improve on your existing intermediate Spanish as well as settling you into the Mediterranean lifestyle. Internships are available in NGO's, tourism, marketing and management positions. Earnings cover your basic living costs too. This is also a great base from where to explore Europe.

Highlights: The objective of the internship program is to strengthen certain key skills needed in working life, such as language skills, understanding of cultures or co-operation skills. Having the courage to go abroad shows that the student has initiative, which employers like. Going abroad also gives the student the opportunity to gain professional exposure in today's international workplace according to their abilities, interests and field of study and/or professional background.

We will help organise lodging, normally with families to reinforce immersion in the culture.
