Even after earning your degree, an internship is a good opportunity to enter the job market, explore new professional fields or further specialize in a specific area.
An internship allows you to:
- strengthen the skills acquired during your academic studies by applying them in real, dynamic work environments;
- experience a professional role firsthand, helping you assess whether it is in line with your career goals and expectations;
- connect directly with companies and organizations, expanding your professional network;
- gain easier access to employment opportunities, also thanks to job placement support offered by some companies.
Internships are promoted by public or private bodies, authorized or accredited, which play a key role in organizing, managing and supervising the internship. Their main task is to ensure the educational value of your experience and to connect the interns (students, recent graduates, or job seekers in general) and the host organizations.
If you have earned your degree in the last 12 months, you can do a graduate internship organized by Politecnico. The maximum overall duration of a graduate internship is generally 6 months, which may be split across multiple experiences (minimum duration: 2 months). This does not include possible curricular internships that you may have previously completed under the same student ID.
You can start a graduate internship through Politecnico only if they take place primarily in the regions of Piemonte or Lombardia, in compliance with the specific regional regulations, or abroad, subject to the legislation of the host country. If you want to do your internship in a different Italian region, you should contact a local authorized promoter (e.g., an Employment Center).
You cannot do a graduate internship at university offices, departments, interdepartmental centers, or Politecnico laboratories.
Graduates in Architecture who meet the required criteria have the opportunity to start a professional internship, which may exempt them from the first practical test of the State Examination for registration in the Register of Architects P.P.C. More information HERE
