What to do before your internership

How to find an internship

The students contact the organization where they would like to do their curricular stage and they come to an agreement regarding when and how to carry out the stage . All these details will have to be included in the training project which is the document which regulates the whole internship. 

COMPANIES WHICH HAVE  AGREEMENTS WITH THE UNIVERSITY

Your search for a company can start from here:

COMPANIES WHICH DO NOT HAVE AGREEMENTS WITH THE UNIVERSITY 

You can set up an internship with a company which has no previous agreement with the University of Pavia.  In this case, the first step is that the company requests and activates an agreement in order for you to be able to do the internship with them. The agreement procedure is online, on the “AlmaLaurea” portal. There are no extra costs for the company and it provides insurance cover while the students are working. 
Access, requirements and further information can be found here: http://cor.unipv.eu/site/home/career- guidance /area-copmpnaies /-activating -stage-procedure-and-forms.html

How to activate a stage

Once you have identified the company and agreed on the contents of the project   (the agreement can be made by replying to an offer on the Almalaurea noticeboard or by contacting the company directly ) to activate the internship you need to:

  1. Access the AlmaLaurea portal through your  Reserved Area> Internships and Stage > Access AlmaLaurea or connect directly to the AlmaLaurea link: (go to the site). When you login for the first time you will have to register; after your first login, you will have to use the credential you are given when you register.
  2. The company fills in and uploads the training project with all the details regarding the activities you will be doing.
  3. The training project is checked by your university supervisor, who will have to approve it. Once the Student Administration Office has checked the documents to make sure everything is in order, the company and the student receive the first notification via email.
  4. At this point, the student will have to access the AlmaLaurea platform, click on the right of the screen on GESTISCI I TUOI TIROCINI, and view the training project connected to the stage he would like to do.
  5. Afterwards on DETTAGLIO TIROCINIO he will be able to view the period of the stage, the company and whether or not the project has been approved.
  6. On the page DETTAGLIO, the student will have to download the form, sign it and ask the company tutor to sign it (the university tutor will have already signed it with a digital signature).
  7. Once the form has been signed, the student will have to scan it and proceed to upload it onto GESTIONE DOCUMENTALE by clicking on AGGIUNGI ALLEGATO.
  8. The student will then have to wait for a second email informing him that the stage has been activated. Once he has received this email, he can start the stage. 

Be careful: before you start doing any kind of work you must wait for confirmation that the stage has been activated and the starting date fixed: any work you do outside the period indicated in your training project will not be recognized!
