PALMA DE MALLORCA, SPAIN

Browse Program

Program Overview

Spend your summer interning abroad in Palma de Mallorca, a dreamy island home to stunning scenery, unique Mediterranean cuisine and traditions, near-constant sunshine, and fascinating natural protected areas. During this eight-week summer internship, you’ll focus your education and skills on tourism, hospitality, business, and social and environmental responsibility. From gaining soft skills – like communication, problem-solving, time management, conflict resolution, creative thinking, and teamwork – to getting an inside look at how a European organization operates, you’re in for a life-changing international internship in Palma.

To complement your experience, you’ll enjoy living with a Mallorquin family, immersing you deeply in the local culture. While living like a local, you’ll adopt a sustainable and socially responsible lifestyle, giving you a unique perspective of and appreciation for island life. This experience will quickly transform you from a tourist into a member of the Mallorquin community, bringing even more value to your time abroad. 

When you apply to become a CIEE intern, our staff will work directly with you to match you with an internship opportunity that suits your unique needs and professional goals. While internships are competitive, CIEE will help you navigate the internship interview process to set you up for success. Our staff will offer you constructive resume revisions and provide you with the tools to succeed in your interview to ensure you are placed with the right opportunity.
