Internship – professional and construction site experiences
In the third year the student must carry out a curricular internship, i.e. an experience aimed at completing university education. The areas of the internship can be professional firms or construction companies, but also technical offices of public bodies.
The duration of the internship is equal to 51 ECTS, i.e. 1020 hours of activity, as envisaged in the teaching plan of the L-P01 study course.
The University provides operational tools for starting and managing "internships", offering added value to the training of its students and assistance to the operators involved in the internships themselves. The internships are carried out on the basis of specific agreements, prepared by the University, which govern the relationships between the entities. Furthermore, a training and orientation project is drawn up for each individual intern, in which the objectives and methods of the internship are defined.
The internship is not considered an employment relationship and, therefore, does not entail the obligation of remuneration on the part of the company, business or institution, nor that of social security. However, it is a mandatory activity to obtain the University Educational Credits (CFU) foreseen in the educational planning of the course of study.
Learning objectives
- Allow the student to have a significant experience, with high educational content, in comparison with real business problems. The internship represents, in fact, an important training and orientation experience, designed and implemented to bring the student closer to the world of work, providing the possibility of a first training experience and job orientation;
- Encourage constant updating on the part of the University on the real needs of the entrepreneurial and productive world for correct planning and programming of interventions;
- Transforming internships into a real service for businesses;
- Allow the companies involved to deepen their knowledge of the university organization and the characteristics of the services that can be obtained;
- Create the conditions for future collaborations between universities and companies.
Methods of conducting the experience
External curricular internship
The intern must request the specific form for the internship application via email from the Academic Coordinator for Internships and deliver it at least one month before the presumed internship start date. Once the characteristics of the internship have been agreed between the host company and the trainee, the contact person will contact the host company to start the procedure which will be managed through the Esse3 management system. It will be the student who will have to find a place to carry out the internship he will have to agree on the objectives, modalities and times of the internship with the person in charge of that reality. However, it is recommended to link the training project of the internship to the three-year degree thesis.
