Is your company based in Barcelona and you would like to host a Barcelona SAE intern in your organization?

We are always looking for new host companies throughout Barcelona that are ready to integrate international talent in their office and expand our partner community.

WHAT SETS OUR INTERNS APART?

• Our interns study at well-known international universities
• Our interns are typically in their 3rd year of university (21-24 years old)
• Our interns are looking for internships in a field directly related to their studies
• Our interns are very motivated to gain experience in their field
• Our interns are native English speakers
• Our interns have varied levels of Spanish (from beginner to fluent/bilingual)
• Our interns have their own insurance policy, both Medical and Personal Liability Insurance
• An internship team director in Barcelona arranges the program
• Students are interviewed and carefully evaluated by another full-time staff member before being accepted and placed in their position with your organisation
• Organizations work closely with the internship team staff onsite to make the experience a success
• These internships are an interesting opportunity for the host companies or organisations to widen their perspective, gain prestige and add international talent in their offices
• Interns are not paid and most of them come to gain academic credit
• Internships start at 4 weeks in length and can last up to 4 months
• The students complete a final project or portfolio to be turned in to the company
• Both the intern and your company/organization sign an agreement stating that there is no work obligation beyond the internship
