To find an internship, you can get in contact with companies/studios through:

The CareerService cannot give you a list of company contact details due to privacy reasons, but you can check the list of Employers on the website to discover which ones are already registered on our website, divided by business sector. You can send them unsolicited applications through the company websites.

When checking Online offers make sure you are applying to offers that are actually in line with your profile by using the appropriate filters:

  • YOUR COURSE OF STUDY SUBJECT
  • INTERNSHIP
  • STUDENT and GRADUATING STUDENT or NEW GRAD (depending on your status at Polimi)

You shall receive a confirmation via email every time your CV is successfully forwarded to a company.

The Company might contact you via email or phone (indicated on your CV) within 30 days approx, which is when the offer goes offline. Please be aware that companies do not always give direct negative feedback to candidates. So if you get no answer, your application has probably been refused.

IN COMPANY THESIS

If you are looking for an internship to develop your thesis project please consider that, even if not written in the title or in the description, all internship offers can be valid for this purpose and you may have the opportunity to discuss it with the Company in case of an interview.
