HOW TO FIND THE CANDIDATE FOR A CURRICULAR INTERNSHIP

The quickest and most effective way to reach students/graduates and receive motivated applications is by posting an announcement on the Career Center portal. Once validated by the Career Service office, the announcement is posted for a period of 30 days unless requested otherwise. The service is free of charge.

Contact the Career Service office (careerservice@luiss.it) for more information about recruitment services or to request support.

Once the intern is selected, the employer should complete the activation process at least 5 business days before the start date of the curricular internship via the Luiss Internship Platform (online service).

What are the different steps of the process? See the infographic. We kindly remind you that the internship will be active and valid only when the Project Form and the Agreement will be digitally signed by the employer, the intern, and the Luiss General Manager.

To confirm the inserted data, both the employer/host institution and student will automatically receive an email from service.workflow@luiss.it  within 24 hours from the submission of the initial internship request.

At this step, it is crucial to verify the information submitted and report any changes and/or additions to tirocinicurriculari@luiss.it.

After confirming the inserted data, the system will forward the Training Project Form and the Ad Hoc Agreement within 48 hours.

The documents must be digitally signed prior to the start of the internship from the legal representative of the employer/host institution (or his/her/their delegate with power of attorney), the intern, and the Luiss General Manager. As outlined in the Internship Regulations, after documents are signed, the Director of the Degree Program within 7 days will evaluate the appropriateness of the internship proposal and the consistency with the degree program for the recognition of ECTs.

TO REQUEST AN EXTENSION

END OF THE INTERNSHIP

Within 24 hours of the last day of the internship, the student and the employer/host institution will automatically receive the evaluation questionnaire to be filled in, following the instructions sent by email.

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the employer fills in the final questionnaire.

Only after both questionnaires are filled out, the Career Service office will forward the request to validate the ECTs to the Students Office.

ACQUIRING ECTs

The acquisition of ECTs requires the achievement of a minimum number of internship hours, which may vary depending on the number of ECTs provided by the study program. 1 ECT equals to 25 hours of internship (i.e., 4 ECTs = 100 hours of internship).

The recognition of ECTs it is always at the end of the internship, after the expected completion date inserted in the Training Project Form.

Within 14 days and only if the evaluation questionnaires have been submitted both by the employer/host institution and the intern, the Training Project Form will be presented to Deputy Rector of Education and the Students Office for ECTs final validation.
