Activating and managing internships

 

An internship is a period of training carried out by a student or recent graduate at a company, institution, or organization, with the aim of acquiring specific skills in the professional context related to their field of study. Internships grant students with the opportunity to put into practice the theoretical knowledge acquired in class, to become familiar with the work environment, and to develop practical and interpersonal skills.

For Bocconi students, experiences of this kind are strongly encouraged or even required within the study plan.

Internships can be carried out both in Italy and abroad and involve the presence of three main stakeholders:

The University, as the promoting institution

is responsible for the quality of the internship experience, which is designed together with the Employer, and promotes its full implementation.

Hosting organization

commits to assigning a company tutor to the intern, who has full responsibility for the activities assigned and carried out by the intern under their supervision.

Intern or trainee

performs activities within the terms specified in the educational project in accordance with the tutor's instructions.
