DURATION
IAESTE traineeships can be anywhere in length from 6 weeks to 1 year. This gives employers the flexibility to bring people in to assist with short term projects, or benefit from the added value of integrating someone into your team for a whole year.
REQUIREMENTS
IAESTE trainees cover the whole spectrum of science, engineering and applied arts subjects. This means that whatever your project we have the right people to support your team. Our participants are all in the latter part of their studies so have real knowledge to contribute.
SUPPORT
All IAESTE countries have a national committee and many have local committees whose responsibility it is to support the students during their traineeship. This means all participants have a point/s of contact for help and advice and are often a part of a larger community of IAESTE trainees. This means they are well looked after and able to focus on their traineeship with stress or worry.
LIVING ALLOWANCE
All IAESTE employers are expected to pay a cost of living allowance to their trainees. This should include enough income to cover the cost of accommodation and food. Payment of interns is an important part of our mission at IAESTE as our trainees can provide real added value to the workplace.
