INTERNSHIP
Internships are offered to students as the first real chance to gain experience in the world of work. An internship gives you the opportunity to put into practice what you have learned during your studies and it will help you decide about your future professional career. Politecnico di Torino promotes internships and guarantees insurance coverage both for civil liability and occupational injuries.
Before starting an internship, you need to include it in your personal study plan/annual personal study plan in the academic year in which you would like to do your internship.
