Description

Undertake an internship in the Renaissance city. Our interns work at companies based on their interests. Give us your top 3 fields of preference and we will work to place you in a great company in Florence. Typically interns do a combination of Italian lesson in the morning and interning in the afternoon, but every intern is different! Both part-time and full-time internships are available. Some students have worked at art galleries, soccer camps, hotels, sports facilities, wine production facilities, local newspapers, and fashion institutes.

Our internships program is dedicated to providing an enriching and enlightening experience as interns achieve international work experience in Florence. Our abundant internship opportunities here in Florence range from International Business and Public Relations to Culinary Arts and Fashion Design. While engaging with Italian procedures on a daily basis, interns will also discover the beauty of and appreciation for the Florentine culture.

Florence is home to 460,000 inhabitants. Florence is the capital of the region of Tuscany which resides on Italy's northwest coast. The city is easily accessible by car, train, and/or plane. The Santa Maria Novella train station is located in the heart of the city, just minutes from our school. The Florence airport, Amerigo Vespucc, is located just a few miles northwest of the city centre. The next closest airport is Pisa's airport Galileo Galilei (for international flights) which is about 46 miles west of Florence. For those who love to walk, Florence is a charming city which one can see from one end of the city center to the other in about 30 minutes.
