Admission requirements

Anyone holding Italian citizenship or another citizenship conferring the same rights in this regard, provided that they are pursuing/have pursued studies in one of the following areas:

  1. All upper secondary level schools including vocational colleges: Completion of the fourth grade of school is the minimum requirement for admission.
  2. Subject areas for university students and young academics: law, politics, social and economic studies; scientific studies; engineering subjects (including agricultural and forestry sciences); humanistic studies. Students pursuing apprenticeships at the same level as a university degree are considered to be on a par with university students.

Furthermore, anyone who has completed their schooling or university no longer than 12 months previously may be admitted to an internship. It is not possible to undertake a training or orientation internship if the intern has already completed internships totalling 10 months’ duration in the past.

Duration


Generally, the minimum duration of an internship is two months (except for compulsory practical training), with the maximum duration, on the other hand, generally being:

  • 3 months for school pupils in upper secondary schools, vocational colleges or state specialist colleges and people who have completed an apprenticeship after their “Matura” (final secondary school examinations), with the internship beginning within 12 months of completion of their education. The internship may, upon justified request of the company, be extended to a total of 4 months.
  • 6 months for university students and individuals who have completed university diploma studies, research doctorates or postgraduate advanced studies, with the internship beginning within 12 months of the completion of the course of studies. Extensions are possible.

The internships are not employment relationships.

The internship will be remunerated according to internal regulations.
