Internships

An orientation internship provides a concrete understanding of the main activities involved in a trade by diving into the workday of those who practice it. The internship is also the opportunity to discover and become more familiar with the world of work and of vocational training. It forms a solid basis to choose a professional path. Orientation internships are aimed in priority at young people nearing the end of compulsory education (10th and 11th Harmos). At EPFL, the duration of internships varies between one and three days, depending on the availability of training units; the number of places is limited. Internships are not remunerated. Travelling to the location of the internship and meals are to be paid for by the intern or the legal representative. During the internship, interns are insured against the risk of professional accidents. If you are interested, you can send us an orientation internship request by clicking on the link below.
