Internship

The internship is designed as a real-world entry point into the job market, allowing students to learn directly “on the field” while developing the ability to take on professional responsibilities and tasks.
Thanks to the strong network of partners within the LifeTech ITS Academy, students have the opportunity to complete their internships at leading national and international companies. A key figure in this journey is the company mentor, who helps students understand the importance of aligning with the company’s values, while also guiding them through not just the technical aspects of their role, but also its organizational, managerial, and interpersonal dimensions.
At the heart of the internship is the Project Work—a practical assignment that forms the basis of the student’s final report. It challenges students with real-world business problems, requiring concrete, feasible, and timely solutions that reflect the standards of national economic development and competitiveness.

APPRENTICESHIP FOR HIGHER EDUCATION AND RESEARCH

The Dual Apprenticeship, also known as the Apprenticeship for Higher Education and Research, is an open-ended employment contract developed through close collaboration between the ITS and partner companies. Together, they define an Individual Training Plan tailored to each student.
This model combines work and study in a single, integrated pathway, alternating training hours at the ITS with both training and paid work experience within a company.
Designed for students up to 29 years old, the program offers a real employment contract and the opportunity to gain hands-on experience while building job-ready skills. The dual apprenticeship typically lasts from 6 months to 2 years. If neither party withdraws at the end of the apprenticeship period, the contract automatically continues as a standard open-ended employment relationship.
