An internship – also called traineeship or stage – is a professional training experience designed to help individuals acquire technical knowledge and soft skills relevant to the professional world.
The institutions that can host an intern include public and private companies, foundations, associations and professional firms, both in Italy and abroad.
The parties involved in setting up an internship are the university, the host institution, and the intern.

The parties agree to a training and professional orientation project, which does not constitute a work relationship.
