Five Students Complete Enriching Internship Experience in Seville with 3SI

Five students recently returned from an exciting two-week internship programme in Seville, Spain, organised by Third Sector International (3SI). The programme provided a unique opportunity for the students to gain valuable work experience, develop essential life skills, and immerse themselves in Spanish culture.

The students were placed in a variety of sectors, ranging from child care in local nurseries to marketing and advertising roles within businesses. These placements offered hands-on experience, helping each participant build practical skills and gain insights into different professional environments.

Living together over the two-week period, the group also developed personal and social skills, learning how to collaborate, communicate, and navigate daily life in a new country. In addition to their placements, they participated in Spanish language lessons and had daily opportunities to practice their skills in real-life situations, both at work and in the community.

Their time in Seville wasn’t all work—students also explored the rich history and stunning architecture of the city. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, they had the chance to experience the vibrant culture and historical depth of one of Spain’s most beautiful cities.
