What is an internship?

Everything you need to know about work placements

Build your career plan by immersing yourself in the field. With each placement, you’ll develop practical skills, gain in maturity and enhance your CV to prepare for a successful career.

Put your knowledge into practice

Gradually apply what you learn at school and transform what you learn into directly operational skills.

Discover the realities of the professional world

Familiarise yourself with company codes even before you graduate: hierarchical organisation, teamwork, professional conduct.

Refine your career plan

Clarify your direction, explore your target sector and prepare for a smooth transition into the field that suits you.

Legal guarantees

Internships: a clearly defined legal framework

Status and framework of the internship
  • You retain your student status and must pay your tuition fees. The work placement is part of your initial training.
  • Once the agreement has been signed, you will be added to the company’s personnel register, but you will not have employee status.

Work placement fees
  • In France, it is compulsory to provide a bonus for more than 308 hours’ attendance, i.e. 44 days. Below this threshold, it remains optional.
  • The legal minimum is set at €4.50 per hour, paid monthly and calculated on the basis of hours actually worked.
  • Only bonuses above the legal minimum are subject to social security contributions.
  • Outside France, the regulations of the host country apply.

Duration
  • The minimum duration depends on the educational requirements of the programme.
  • The maximum authorised period is 132 days on the job, i.e. just over 6 months full-time.
  • The work placement may be continuous or alternating, if both the school and the company agree.

    J’ai découvert des profils très intéressants, notamment en vente, logistique et relation client. Ce que nous apprécions surtout, c’est que la formation des étudiants de l’INSEEC correspond vraiment à nos besoins, en particulier pour les spécialisations en Supply Chain et les postes en logistique et en vente.

      After graduating with an MSc in Marketing, Communication & Brand Strategy from INSEEC Bordeaux, I created CLOE, a platform that facilitates access to student housing. Thanks to the La FabriK For Good incubator, I benefited from tailored support and a network of experts to develop a project with social impact, serving student life and inclusion.

      Thanks to a parallel admission process, I was able to join INSEEC Bachelor in my second year, after realizing that college wasn’t for me.

      I enrolled in the INSEEC Bachelor’s program because my brother was there and I had heard very good things about the school.

      The social media part is directly related to what I am learning at INSEEC. The work-study program is really helping me develop my skills, and in a saturated marketing and communications market, that’s a real plus: companies know that we have already been immersed in the professional world and that we know how it works.

      My career path was initially far removed from the healthcare sector: I studied political science and wanted to be a lawyer. With INSEEC, I was able to change direction and establish myself in the management of a healthcare facility, in line with the values that motivate me on a daily basis.

      When I saw INSEEC’s partnership with OM, I was very pleasantly surprised. These are two entities that I love, and it’s very nice to see two things that I love forming a partnership.
