Internships offer invaluable real-world experience to students and aspiring professionals. These opportunities bridge the gap between academic learning and practical application, allowing individuals to gain hands-on skills, expand their networks, and explore potential career paths. They provide a crucial stepping stone toward professional growth and success.
At Carlos V students can gain short-term work experience by participating in our program of temporary, supervised work in a particular field in order to gain practical experience. Our programs incorporate education and professional development and are designed to guide the intern toward a professional career in a particular organization, field, or sector. In our internships, students will become part of the organization which will provide them valuable experience in the working world.
Students will return home not only with work experience, but also increased cultural awareness and a stronger command of the Spanish language. They will participate in cultural programs and workshops throughout their stay and develop their cultural awareness as they immerse themselves in Spanish daily life. They will also have the opportunity to acquire a stronger command of the Spanish language by participating in Spanish classes certified by the Cervantes Institute.
In addition to internships, Carlos V offers a job shadowing program, allowing students to observe professionals in their field of interest. This program provides an inside look into the daily responsibilities and challenges of specific careers. By shadowing experienced professionals, students can:
Our job shadowing experiences are designed to complement our internships, providing a comprehensive overview of professional life in Spain. This exposure helps students make informed decisions about their career paths while enhancing their resumes with valuable, hands-on experience.
Our internships offer students with an interest in teaching the opportunity to work with high school aged students who are learning English.
Our programs are from two to six weeks from June through August and give the student teacher the opportunity to gain valuable classroom experience as well as the opportunity to improve their Spanish as they immerse themselves in the Spanish culture.
Classes meet for three hours each day and there are also opportunities to join their students on cultural visits, workshops and excursions.
Student teachers will work hand-in-hand with our staff and have full access and training on all materials, audiovisual equipment, and carefully designed lesson plans as well as be encouraged to bring their own unique talents and ideas to the classroom.
The ideal candidate has an interest in both exposing themselves to new cultures as well as a practical interest in language acquisition.
