EUNICE now offers an international internship database with over 200 companies and institutions for interested students from the seven partner universities
What does the perfect CV actually look like after graduation? One thing is certain: experience abroad enhances the curriculum vitae. A promising option is to combine time abroad with work in a relevant field. But finding an internship abroad is often not that easy. This is exactly where EUNICE, the European University for Customised Education, now offers a solution, namely an international internship database.
EUNICE has just launched the EUNICE International Internships Portal, a fully interactive and multilingual online repository that streamlines the international internships process. “We want to give all students from our partner universities the opportunity to do an internship in companies, research centres, NGOs and other host organisations. In this way, we can also promote and improve the relationship between the academic world and the labour market, both on a national and international level. It also gives entrepreneurs a tool to invest in future professionals”, says Cristina Satriano, EUNICE project manager at the University of Catania.
The database already includes over 200 international companies and organisations and is constantly growing. Applying has never been easier! Students’ applications need to be submitted online.
The intern opportunity, however, does not come with funding for mobility, being itself part of a much broader mobility action such as the Erasmus+ or any other mobility programmes. Students should check with their own International Relations Office whether any mobility funding programmes may be available, including insurance.
