A Little Background Information

We are a recently formed, very enthusiastic company based in southern Andalucía. We have experience in the work placement industry, with both our directors having studied languages at university (one Spanish & French and the other, believe it or not, Chinese & Japanese!)

Although a while ago now, our work placements abroad hold fond memories for both of us. A year abroad was a compulsory part of our degree programme and we still remember stressing over the whole ordeal of finding a placement. Our universities had some contacts with businesses but only a few were lucky enough to be given a ready-made work experience placement. It was not and still is not an easy task finding a company in a foreign country willing to take on a student. We are here to take the stress out of finding your own placement and let you get on with being a student. To make life easier for you and do something we enjoy!

We will find you a suitable placement and help you along the way too.

Most placements are unpaid, although we do try to negotiate some kind of salary, perhaps to cover accommodation costs. We take the view, and are sure you will agree with us, better self-funded sunshine work experience than grey skied no work experience and dull looking CV!

In other words, better yourself and your future career prospects at the same time as gaining some good solid work experience in a nice warm climate.

Upturn in Demand for Student Placements

Given the current economic climate more and more companies are turning towards the possibility of taking on a student to help share the workload and overcome temporary staff shortages. Businesses are realising how much a student can bring to their organisation, not just in terms of saving on resources, they can also benefit from their valuable skills, knowledge and internationalism.

Nowadays a degree is not enough once you leave university, by doing a work placement and gaining solid work experience you are improving your employability and showing you are open in your way of thinking, perhaps more dynamic and have more to offer a business.
