Technical Pre-Internship

The perfect start to your studies

Do you need to complete a preliminary or basic internship to enroll in a technical degree program, such as mechanical, electrical, or industrial engineering? No problem! We can help you gain practical experience right after high school graduation and meet the formal requirements for starting your studies.

What to Expect During Your Internship

During the technical pre-internship or basic internship, you will gain fundamental technical knowledge essential for a technical degree program. This experience will help you better understand the theoretical content as you progress through your studies. Typical activities include filing, drilling, and milling.

You will also gain insights into a professional environment in which you may work later on. You will assist with everyday tasks and establish your first professional contacts.
