The relationship established between the company, the training centre and the student is strictly academic and in no case employment. At IES Consulting we work with internship agreements and NOT with internship contracts.

In general, Spanish and Latin American students can do their internships throughout the year. In any case, it depends on the training conditions of each student and must be evaluated individually. At IES Consulting we recommend publishing the internship offers for native and Latin American Spanish students well in advance of the date on which you wish to receive the scholarship holder in order to avoid possible delays due to bureaucratic procedures with schools or universities.

Timetable - What are the usual working hours for interns?

Students must take advantage of the working day established by the company. They usually work full time; part time is also a possibility. The inclusion of the number of weekly hours of practice is one of the conditions of the internship agreements for native and Latin American students.

On the education and professional practices of Latin-American students

Basic education in…

Latin-America

The educational levels in Latin America can be evaluated in different ways, by quality, development, accessibility, among others. Primary education is generally compulsory, free and provided by the state in most countries. The average duration of studies in primary schools is twelve years, in some cases eleven years. The duration of university studies is usually five years. The majority of Latin-American students who do their internships in Europe come mainly from Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. In these countries, compulsory education occurs between the ages of 3 and 17. While higher education is between the ages of 18 and 22.

If you want to know more about the Latin American educational system, you can do so on the website of the Organization of Latin-American States.

Spain

Basic education is compulsory and free in publicly funded schools. It covers ten years of schooling and is divided into two stages: Primary Education, taught in Primary Schools. It comprises six academic years, usually between the ages of 6 and 12. Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), which is taught in secondary schools between the ages of 12 and 16. At the end of this stage, students receive their first official certification, the Graduate Degree in Compulsory Secondary Education, which allows them access to Higher Secondary Education or the world of work.

Higher education in…

Latin-America

In general, in Latin America, the duration of each of the higher education courses is 2 to 3 years for Higher University Technicians; 3 to 5 years for Bachelor’s Degrees; 1 to 5 years for Specialization; 2 years for Master’s Degrees; and 3 more years to obtain a Doctorate degree. These training structures are successive, which means that for a Master’s degree, for example, a total of 7 years have been studied (5 years of bachelor’s degree plus 2 years of master’s degree). The Latin American students who come to Europe to do an internship are usually students or recent graduates of Higher University Technician, Bachelor’s Degree, Specialization or Master’s Degree. Depending on the training model chosen by the Latin scholars, they may be undergraduate students in Business Administration and Management (BBA), Economics, Finance, Marketing, Human Resources, Commercials, Sales and Tourism.

Spain

In Spain, higher education includes professional and university studies. Higher level vocational training is provided in the same centres as intermediate level vocational training, and university studies in universities. Depending on the type of training chosen by the students (school or university), if the practice is curricular, it is not possible to do it until a minimum number of credits have been passed. Native Spanish students who wish to do their internships in companies in Spain come from vocational training (vocational training) which usually lasts about two years and offer internship agreements for their students, who are generally from the Tourism, Business Administration, Marketing and Economics sectors. Even native Spanish Master’s students are usually from the tourism sector and are looking for internships as hotel managers.
