How We Choose Your Internship Placement…

• Your level of Spanish proficiency at the end of your language training in Malaga . All placements require a minimum level of proficiency, some more than others.
• Your level of experience in the field. All placements require some formal training, university level study or previous professional experience.
• The length of time you will be working with the placement company. Generally speaking, the longer your internship placement lasts, the better the placement as the company knows you will be there longer and therefore they will provide more responsibility.
• The type of experience that you wish to gain from your internship as described in your application form. Please be honest and specific with this section of the application. Our placement agency meets with our interns once a week to evaluate the status of their experience. This is a great way to ensure that all internships exceed expectations.

Global Experiences works with a placement agency in Seville that provides international work experience for young professionals from around the world. After submitting our free online application, you will begin working with a Global Experiences coordinator to finalize your program. Once in Spain, you will have a placement interview at the language school to discuss your expectations of the internship. The precise internship and the host company will be confirmed during your last week in Malaga so that you can be placed based on your most current Spanish level.

**It is important to note that you should have some experience, either academic or professional, in the placement area for which you are applying. If you are not sure whether you have the minimum experience expected, be sure to inquire with our Program Coordinators.

Along with the placement agency, we will monitor your progress for the duration of the program. You are guaranteed a statement of reference from the company upon successful completion of the internship.
