Testimonials

I really enjoyed my time as an intern through Adelante Abroad. I spent six weeks living in Edinburgh, Scotland, where I spent most of my week participating in research on pig behavior. I major in animal science, and I just applied to veterinary school, so this internship was very helpful in preparing me for my future career as well as my vet application. I also had such a fun time in [Edinburgh] There was so much history and I feel that I got to see, experience, and learn so much during my time there.

This was by far the best trip that I have ever been on!! With the help of all the staff at SRUC Elmwood, it was very easy and quick to get integrated into the program and comfortable in a new country. They also taught us so much about the world of golf. From the history of golf, coaching, to talking with General Managers and Head Greenskeepers of facilities to get a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of a golf course. On top of that playing some of the best golf courses the world has to offer. There was so much information and experiences that were done over the month in Scotland that created countless memories that I will remember forever.

This has truly been a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The staff is top notch they are more like friends than teachers/chaperones. From top-notch coaching to world-renowned golf courses, this is definitely every golfers dream. The courses are also very engaging and rely heavily on real-world experience being able to go to hickory golf course, visit the golf museum and coach a group of children in golf. I recommend this program to anyone interested.

This experience has truly been a life-changing moment for me. There was definitely a culture shock when I first arrived as far as the language barrier goes, but as time went on I feel that I have improved in my spanish speaking abilities as well as the desire to continue to study the language as I return home. I have been able to learn so much between my classes, attending my internship at my Clinica, meeting people from all over, and exploring all of the beauty and culture Spain has to offer. I can confidently say that this entire experience has allowed me to grow so much as an individual. 

My [medical] internship has been a big part of my journey. I feel that this experience has allowed me to gain more independence and help build confidence. I was able to work alongside and learn from so many incredible healthcare professionals who have inspired me in many different ways. The staff continually stressed the importance of education and implementing hands-on practice in order to build self-confidence within the healthcare field. Not only was I able to utilize and practice many skills that I have learned in my own nursing practice in the States, but I was also able to gain a new perspective within the healthcare system in Spain. It has been so interesting to see the many similarities and differences between healthcare practice in Spain versus nursing practice in the States.

Thank you for all your guidance and support during my time abroad! I am so grateful to Adelante for giving me the opportunity to experience something that was very much out of my comfort zone, but in turn, gave me a whole new outlook on the world and allowed me to build lifelong friendships that I will forever cherish. 

My Law internship in Spain was a phenomenal one. I feel that by taking this internship I was able to see things more clearly with what I wanted to accomplish. My internship was extremely unique because not only did I learn a lot with a lawyer at his office, I got hands-on experience by attending court proceedings and elections for the lawyer society of Madrid. He took me in as his ward and introduced me to countless attornies, businessmen, and people who share a similar mentality of professionalism as we do, which was much appreciated.

I truly loved my experience in the program. I’m still kind of astonished at the amount of software development knowledge I gained in just over 3 months. Learning how to speak technical jargon in Spanish also made me confident that I can work in the software industry in any Spanish-speaking country in the future. I’m grateful to Adelante for creating such an awesome internship abroad program, and I think the experience beat studying abroad by miles.

Interning in Spain has always been a dream of mine ever since I learned Spanish and Adelante was able to make it a reality. They helped out with all the steps when it came to location, housing and work placement. I was able to not only gain relevant work experience in my field, but also connect and make friends with people from all parts of the world, put my Spanish skills to the test and grow as a person. I highly recommend everyone to take the chance and go out of their comfort zone by studying or interning abroad.

I had an amazing time here. I learned a lot and had so much fun traveling around here. I had never ridden english before so this was all new. They were very patient with us. I came in with some equine A&P knowledge but I definitely was able to broaden that knowledge. Equine fitness was all new to me. I learned a lot about making a fitness plan to get a horse ready for different types of competitions.

I spent 3 months in Uruguay, interning with a law firm in Punta del Este. The firm I interned with was the first firm to receive recognition for its continuous improvement and quality management by the National Institute of Quality (INACAL). It was an honor to collaborate with a firm with such recognition. My internship placement was flexible, and I received university credit for my internship. My firm was happy to accommodate my hours and fill out all forms I needed for the university.

I decided to go back to school and go for my master’s degree in accounting and started applying for internships and jobs, but they never selected me due to my lack of experience. That is when I decided to apply for an Internship in Madrid. I was scared initially but willing to face and enjoy this new experience. [Adelante] found an intern position for me at a film institute, where I assisted with day-to-day financial transactions, including recording payments in their system. My place of work had a great environment, and everybody treated me like family. I went back home and started applying for new jobs, and thanks to my experiences as an intern in Madrid, I received three offers. This experience was undoubtedly worth it and paid off – the best time of my life.”
