TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The opportunity is open to regularly enrolled university students. The candidate will go through a selection process by way of an interview, both written and oral. Prior to appointment of the successful candidate, the Embassy will sign an agreement (Convenzione di Tirocinio) with the university setting out the arrangements including tutor, health & safety and insurance cover. The intern will be granted a number of credits (crediti formativi) as indicated by the university. The internship is not a work contract and as such is not paid. However the Embassy will pay the intern a monthly allowance of €350 per month. This amount is not subject to tax under current local legislation. The intern is expected to work an average of 30 hours per week, Monday to Friday, within the range of 9am–5pm. Some degree of flexibility is expected, mostly in case of seminars and events. Flexibility is also ensured by the whole section to accommodate the intern’s need in case of university exams or for studying. Other administrative details are set out in the university ‘progetto formativo’ to be signed once appointed to the internship.
