Have a chat about it with some person during then LGBT+Tech Barcelona meetup. Most Spanish company do not have nam format VTO program but would accept on an adhoc basis.
One of the big questions is which format is good for the student? one week? one day a trimester?, Friday afternoon? Will have to ask them.

An afternoon is the most voted.
We could try with a Friday codebar afternoon!

Next steps:
