FAQ

I went onto the Internship & Placement portal as a student and found an internship I’m interested in. I have submitted an application attaching my CV and a cover letter. What should I do now?
The company will have received your application via an automatic email from wea@unicatt.it (the subject line will be: New application entered). Now you just have to wait for the company to contact you to fix an interview.
I have been selected. What should I do now?
You now have to activate your internship abroad. Refer to the activation instructions which were attached to the same email (subject line: New application entered). The company doesn’t have to do anything at this point.

I am trying to activate my curricular internship, but I can’t find the name of my tutor in the drop-down menu of my faculty’s list. What can I do?
If you already know who your tutor is, just put their surname in the tutor box and click on search:

However, if you’re not sure who your tutor is, you should check in the Activities & Experiences section of your faculty’s Unicatt webpage or contact wea@unicatt.it for further information
N.B. Take care to select the correct tutor and be sure that the tutor is assigned to you, or the project will have to be cancelled.

What internship type should I select: curricular internship/extracurricular internship/new-graduate internship?I
f you are about to graduate, you will be undertaking your internship after graduation: the system will not allow you to select ‘graduate internship’ because at that point your student ID will show that you are a current student and haven’t graduated. Our advice is to select ‘extracurricular internship’.
