PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIP AS AN ARCHITECT, GRAPHIC DESIGNER...




A VERY “CONSTRUCTIVE” INTERNSHIP

The story that we want to tell you today is about three young Galician girls who have obtained a internship in a prestigious international architecture studio in London, HWCD. 

About the result of the internship…, the picture talks by itself, does it? 



Though, we want to tell you a little bit more about the London adventure of these three girls. 

Raquel (receptionist), Andrea (graphic designer) and Maria (architect), obtained the scholarship Galeuropa offered by the Autonomous government of Galicia (Xunta de Galicia), to realize two months internship in a foreign company. 
They are just three examples of more than twenty students we have helped thanks to the information and confidence that the Autonomous government of Galicia and this students have given us.

While Raquel tried to find the right internship on her own, Andrea and Maria were advised to contact with our company, and they immediately decided to trust us.

Raquel's first internship did not turn out to be as productive as she was expecting, so she finally decided to come to our office, recommended by her colleagues, and in less than one week we organized the beginning of her internship in HWCD. 

After these two months designing and constructing their professional future, the three of them had tell us that they are very satisfied with the result, all the things they have learnt and the good environment that they felt in the office.

Thanks to Come2England, Maria - after demonstrating her professional skills – is now moving indefinitely to London as part of the studio team. 
Congratulations Maria! We are glad we have been the first step of this ascent towards your dream job in London.

Dear reader, even you can find your ideal internship and get ready to show how capable you are to catch the international job of your dreams!

Are you interested in art?
London is the right city where you can develop all your interests!
There are fantastic museums and many of these are free!
This is a great opportunity to study, understand and promote art in all its features.
It's for these characteristics that London is the birth city of many artists, two of which have recently been on the news for their incredible skills.
Many of you will be familiar with Banksy, famous for his graffiti art.
All his artworks represent something "bad" happening in the world and this artist has found an incredible way to give a voice to this common feeling.

Few weeks ago, everybody was talking about the mysterious theft of one of his graffiti, which was stolen and brought to Miami with the intent of selling it in a private auction.
