Placement and Career Services

The Placement Office - Career Service establishes and manages relations with businesses locally, nationally and internationally to help introduce students and new graduates to the world of work. It sets up work experience placements, offers career advice and orientation.

An internship can be considered an investment for companies and students. If this interchange is an exchange between different countries, it is enhanced by additional human, social and cultural factors that increase its value.

The University of Siena, as sending institution, provides basic insurance support for curricular internship (documents and english summary here).

For non-curricular internship, the host organization will provide the required insurance policy (third party/civil liability and accidents at work).

The host organization is responsible of the respect of internship regulations and health regulation in the host country.

WHAT TO DO

1. The TA (see below) completed and signed by the trainee is sent by email to the university tutor, who will view and forward the TA to [email protected] declaring to approve the contents as the tutor of the internship. Without this approval it is not possible to proceed.
2. The trainee will provide the Placement Office with the original TA paper document handsigned (at least 20 days prior to the internship starting date).
3. The Placement Office takes care of Rector's and host entity's signatures, copying all the parties. With the signature of the host institution, the procedure is concluded and the internship can start on the established date.

Please note: curricular internship means that you are carrying out internship a student (even attending doctorate or master). Extracurricular or non curricular internship means that you are carrying out internship as a graduate and you can no more than 11 month beyond the graduation date, unless different internship regulations in the host country communicated by the company).
