Internship program
Curricular internships take place within February and May each year, the minimum duration is 250 hours. They consist of the placement of the student at a public or private institution in Italy or abroad, to carry out practical activities in line with the educational objectives of SciComm Master.
Internships offer an excellent opportunity to gain insight into a job, Company and industry. During an internship, students will work on a communication project agreed upon between the intern, the Host Organization and the coordinator of the SciComm Master program. Working students can intern at the Company where they’re working.
Even if many employers use internships to fast track potential candidates for job openings, internships do not represent, or imply, any employment relationship with the Host Organization.
When looking for an internship, interns may use University’s Career Resources or research and contact potential employers directly.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
INTERNSHIP PROCEDURE
Safety at Work training is legally mandatory and must be supplied by the employer (the host company or institution).
The majority of individuals already possess the standard certificate.
However, if you don’t, the University offers all interns the opportunity to participate in the online course on Health and Safety in the workplace – a comprehensive training for workers.
To enroll in the required Health and Safety in the Workplace course, candidates should follow these steps:
- Visit https://webapps.unitn.it/gestionecorsi/
- Select “Student” and then proceed to the “Uni Login” option.
- Enter your login credentials to access your student account.
- Click on the “Courses You Are Registered” section and search for the specified Health and Safety in the Workplace General Training course.
In the event that it is not listed, navigate to “Courses to Which You Can Subscribe” and locate the course on Health and Safety.If any challenges arise during the process, feel free to reach out for assistance by contacting uff.didatticaonline@unitn.it
This streamlined procedure ensures that all interns can readily access the necessary training for workplace safety, contributing to a secure and successful internship experience.
Setting up an internship in Italy involves three stages: accessing the Esse3 Internships and Jobs platform, signing the Agreement, and activating the internship with the student.
The host company/institution:
- access the Esse3 Internships and Jobs platform,
- signs the Agreement,
- uploads the proposed internship to Esse3.
The prospective intern
- finds a university supervisor,
- accepts the proposed internship on Esse3,
- and shares the proposal with the University supervisor.
The University supervisor
- assesses the proposal
- and sends their acceptance to Job Guidance.
At the end of this process the prospective intern download the final proposal, signs it, had it signed by both the tutors, and send it to jobguidance@unitn.it
Step 1 : Complete the DSRS online form – Internship closure – Phase 1
Attach the following documents:
-
Internship Certificate Part 1 (available in Esse3) signed both by the company tutor and you
-
Final Internship Report
Once the form has been completed and sent, the Job Guidance office issues the “Internship Certificate part 2“. Download it from your Esse3 reserved area, sign it and send it to your academic tutor for signature.
Step 2: Once the academic tutor sends you the signed Certificate part 2, attach it to the DSRS online form – Internship closure – Phase 2
Step 3: Fill in the DSRS form – Internship evaluation – Student questionnaire.
Once the form has been completed, the system automatically sends an email to the Company tutor inviting him/her to complete the end-of-internship evaluation survey. When he/she has completed it your internship will be recorded.
