Traineeship

Internship, or internship, is a period of orientation and training, carried out in a public or private work setting to facilitate your entry into the world of work.

The curricular internship consists of a period of training - of a maximum duration of 12 months, for each course of study cycle - carried out in a company, entity or institution, which allows you to complete and supplement your university course:

• has an educational purpose, in that it allows you to deepen, verify and extend the learning received during your course of study
• has an orientation purpose, in that it allows you to enter the world of work, to know internally the business reality and organizational/work dynamics and to assume greater awareness in professional choices
• does not take the form of an employment relationship
• must be included in the curriculum

• Read how the agreement for the activation of curricular traineeships between companies and the University of Genoa. 
• Use the job guidance services offered by the University.

To activate the internship:

1. Contact the administrative referrer of the internship office
2. Agree with the contact person within the company (company tutor) and the university tutor (professor of your course of study)
