EDUCATION INTERNSHIP
In order to get a better view of your requirements and your skills, we kindly ask ask you to fill in this questionnaire. To help us find the right internship placement for you, we will contact you for a Skype interview once you have been accepted for the program.
Do you want to know how it works?
STEP 1 – CHECK EGIBILITY
- You re 18 years of age or older
- Currently studying a course or degree related with Tourism, Hospitality or Culinary fields
- Duration: from 2 to 12 months
- Your school or university must have a signed agreement with OLESAY (we contact with your school after receiving application)
- Health & Accident, public liability and repatriation Insurance (if needed, health insurance is available through us)
We highly recommend an intermediate level of both Spanish and English to participate in this program, although the level required will be defined by each position.
STEP 2 – SKYPE INTERVIEW
The purpose of this interview is to provide you with more information about the program and answer as many questions as possible. After this interview we will have more detailed information about your expectations and preferences to start the personalized search.
We will also contact your culinary school to set up an educational agreement
STEP 3 – CONFIRMATION & DEPOSIT
Once you decide to participate, you are required to submit a $500 deposit (deposits are refundable if a placement commensurate with your background, skills and experience is not secured). The deposit is part of the total fee, not an additional cost.
Once the deposit is received, we still start the research for your custom internship placement.
STEP 4 – RESEARCH PROCESS
The research process usually lasts about 2-4 weeks until we have found you a list of placements based on your profile and personal preferences (5-10 offers). However, if are not happy with our list, we will continue to send you placements until we´ll find an offer that suits you well.
You will select up to 3 choices and we will send your resume to the host properties and get back to you to inform you where you have been accepted.
Once a placement has been accepted, we will inform the host property of your decision and it will be time for you to book your flight and begin your personal pre-departure preparations. We will either arrange for or assist you with the procurement of your legal documents (NIE, Foreigner Identification Number) and send you pre-departure information to help you get prepared for your new adventure.
