In a world in which an ever greater knowledge is required,
not only of foreign languages but also of the work culture and
mentality of each and every nation, it is extremely interesting to be
able to combine studying a language with an internship that coincides
with one's own interests and training. The experience that students
obtain in a study abroad program is greatly enhanced when they have the
opportunity to interact at a personal level with the Italian people.
Due to the recognition of the Formative Agency received from the Tuscan
Region, our organization proposes a series of internship programs in
order to facilitate the exchange of experience and information between
foreign participants and the firms or Italian institutions in the Siena
area. Several internship courses have been developed to allow students
to take an active part in the community and practice their "real-life"
Italian skills. Our program has been carefully organized in accordance
with official regulations which can be summarized as follows:
internships are unpaid, insurance is included and covers work accidents
and compensation for damage to third parties; time commitment is
approximately 6-8 hours a day.
Each internship course that we offer includes: entrance test to
ascertain the participant's language level; group language course (from
5 to 12 people); one-on-one lessons on the specific field of interest;
books and other didactic material; progress exams during the language
course; final exam and certificate of attendance; assistance and tutor
to help the participant identify the most suitable business; I.N.A.I.L.
insurance and coverage for damage to third parties. This program
establishes co-operation between our Internship tutor and the manager
of the selected firm to ensure the highest quality professional
experience and to offer support and guidance for the student to monitor
and maintain his/her progress. With the established agreement, the
working day consists of 6-8 hours of unpaid work.
Internship programs are available in the following fields: Agriculture,
Architecture, Art, Graphic Design, Hotel management, Management,
Secretarial, Social work, Tourism.
