You can ask us to start a graduate internship for you within 12 months of your graduation date. The maximum duration of a graduate internship is 6 months. If we start for you more than one internship, the maximum overall duration of all graduate internships can't be more than 6 months. In accordance with Italian law (DGR no.85-6227 of 22/12/2017), you receive a pay during your graduate internship. The minimum gross monthly pay is € 300.00 for 20 hours a week (part-time). This pay increases proportionally to the number of working hours up to a maximum of 40 hours per week (€ 600.00 a month). 

Please note that your pay may vary depending on the Italian region where you do your internship. Please check the regional legislation of the region where you intend to do your internship.

Convenzione di Tirocinio (agreement)
The Convenzione di tirocinio (agreement) is an official agreement made between Politecnico di Torino and your Host Company. It must be signed BEFORE you start your internship.    

To find out if a company has already entered into an agreement with Politecnico di Torino, you can:

1) check if the company you are searching for is already included in our database when you fill out your Progetto Formativo (search it by company name in the section Azienda);

 If a Host Company does not have an agreement with Politecnico di Torino, the company must register on our website from this link :http://stagejob.polito.it/aziende/attivare_un_tirocinio 
Please note: it’s the company’s responsibility to register on our website, not yours.

In accordance with current law, there are two types of agreements: Agreement for Curricular Internships and Agreement for Graduate Internships.   

Upon registration, the company receives the access credentials to log into our platform (company personal page).
