Traineeships are an active policy measure aimed at the objectives of orientation, employability and integration into the world of work. 

Curricular traineeships, in particular, represent a training experience for students attending a secondary, tertiary or higher education course, as they enable them to combine university training with the performance of practical activities in facilities inside or outside the school. They are aimed at the acquisition of specific learning objectives, as well as technical or professional skills, consistent with the training and study pathway of the student concerned.

They are carried out within the overall duration of the student's course of study, although they may be carried out outside the period of the school or academic calendar (e.g. even in the summer term).

Below you can find the IUSS Guidelines for the activation of curricular traineeships.
