INTERNSHIPS


► In view of the exceptional circumstances, priority will be given tothe administrative processing of compulsory traineeships.

I have a compulsory internship to complete to validate my final diploma. I haven't been able to do it yet. Will I be able to extend it beyond October 31? What criteria do I have to meet? 

  • To be able to benefit from an extension of the internship beyond October 31, I must be enrolled in a Master 2 or a professional degree with a compulsory internship. I must also have the agreement and validation of my training manager.

  •  I am not concerned if I have already completed an internship allowing me to validate my training,
Only internship agreements signed by the end of July at the latest will be eligible for extension beyond 31 October. These must not go beyond 31/12/2020 (deadline for students to be covered by social security in relation to their registration at the University). The duration of the internship may in no case exceed 6 months.
 

My internship agreement has been validated by the university. The host structure will only maintain my internship if I can work from home. Can I do this internship?

Yes, in order to respect the containment measures, the university validates this internship modality.

My internship must take place abroad. As I can no longer travel, the host organisation offers me teleworking. Can I set up this modality for an internship initially planned abroad?

If the company offers it, telework can be set up from your place of residence in France or in the EU area.

What are the administrative procedures to which I must submit if I do my internship at a distance?

The hosting structure sends me in writing the tele-work mode to which I must give my consent. If my internship was initially to take place face-to-face, it will be necessary to make an amendment to the internship agreement and to specify the address of the place where I telework.

We also draw your attention to the fact that working at a distance implies that you must remain at the disposal of the structure and comply with the provisions of the initial internship agreement. You must remain available for your host structure and respect the schedules defined by it.

I just found an internship, can I get a validation from the university to start it?

Your agreement can be validated as long as the reception structure offers you an arrangement that respects the instructions of social distancing or an assignment in telework.
  • The Ministry of Higher Education reminds companies of their responsibility to rethink their organisations in order to :
  • Limit meetings to what is strictly necessary,
  • Limit employee groupings in small spaces,
  • Cancel or postpone unnecessary trips,
  • Adapt work organization, particularly through team rotation.

During the internship, if these conditions are not met, if you feel insecure, you can exercise your right to withdraw.

Regarding the creation of your internship agreement, you must follow the usual procedure.

TSE and TSM students follow the procedure indicated by their attachment component.

Your agreement will be returned to you signed by the university in return.

The structure in which I have to do my internship asks me if the university suspends all current internships?

In agreement with the host structure, the student can continue his internship if the structure proposes teleworking or if it implements an arrangement to respect social distancing.

The Ministry of Higher Education reminds companies of their responsibility to rethink their organisations in order to :

  • Limit meetings to what is strictly necessary,
