Business in Spain (Virtual) | Spain, Europe

Since 2006, our partner company has helped students find career-related internships around the world, across all fields. They will work with you to help define your ideal internship, provide insight into local opportunities and help find a placement that suits your specific skills, experience, and interests.

Interns identify which sub-fields of business are most of interest to them, and the host organization will then match the intern with specific projects. Examples of possible business placements and tasks could include, but are not limited to:

• Conducting research at a venture capital firm specializing in incubation and early-stage investments
• Supporting marketing and advertising campaigns at a PR firm or digital agency
• Assisting with business development-related projects at start-ups and tech companies
• Researching new markets and identifying new business opportunities through qualitative and quantitative analysis
• Designing and implementing new communication and marketing strategies
• Creating content and conceptualizing new social media campaigns

Specific tasks and responsibilities are designated by the site supervisor.  Prospective interns are encouraged to keep a flexible mindset, since each placement is unique and dependent on both the skill set, experience, and goals of the candidate, as well as the needs and availability of potential host sites.
