Summer Internships

What is it?

One way to enrich your resume is to enrol in a summer internship within a company between the months of July and August.

The Técnico Summer Internships initiative celebrates 11 years in 2023. During this period more than 1700 students underwent a summer internship under this program, with 80% doing so in the last 4 years, denoting the initiative growth. In 2020 we had more than 200 summer internship offers and 2615 applications for these offers from about 516 of our students, which is indicative of the evolution and current dynamics of the program.

This program is the result of a close collaboration between the Técnico Career Center team and the Técnico students organizations involved in the ISTSI team. In 2022, the following organizations were involved in this team: AeroTéc; Fórum Civil; Fórum Mecânica; N3E; NAEN; NEB; NEBM; NEEA; NEECIST; NEEGI; NEIIST; NEQIST; NFIST; NMATH; Nuclear; NUMIST

Why?

If you’re not sure which area you’d like to work in, this is a great way to test your knowledge and maybe even try out areas where you never thought of working.

These internships will be important to get to know the business reality, as well as an opportunity for companies to contact students who do not spend part of their vacation period to apply their knowledge and have contact with a new environment. Integration into a work team, where there are new challenges every day, will complement your academic training and may give you new perspectives in learning the subjects.

Additional information

Regularization of internships is carried out with the signing of a short-term contract, which allows the coverage by the School Insurance. The internship contract defines the duration of the internship, the start and end dates of the internship, the location and work schedule, as well as the internship scholarship (if applicable). An internship plan must be presented by the company with identification of the supervisor and definition of the internship objectives.
