Gain experience in companies that represent the best of the "Made in Italy" in the world is essential for all those who are preparing to undertake a virtuous and educational professional path in the territory of fashion. So " Internships of Excellence"  was born with the aim of involving companies that will have the opportunity to request, during special moments of the year, students and newly graduates (pre-selected by a specifically constituted internship committee) equipped with the specific skills that companies need, in order to meet through the internship the world of work, in the most functional way possible.

PROCEDURE
Based on agreements between the ZoneModa work group, UniRimini and the companies in the Fashion field, the professional profiles and the periods of the year to consider will be agreed upon, also according to the requests of the participating companies.

The internship projects established with the companies will then be published on our social media channels, and will be described in great detail in the area dedicated to the Internships of excellence.

The Internship of Excellence area will contain all the material useful for providing an excellent showcase to communicate and make people know projects, perspectives and events. Selected students will have to document their training experience with photos, texts, videos or productions of any kind. The most interesting and noteworthy cases will therefore have a central position on our conduits, making a point of the importance of the involvement of our students to the whole extent of the Italian fashion industry.

Compulsory compilation of the questionnaire before the beginning of the application.

SELECTION

Students who will reply to the initiative will be selected, starting in autumn 2013, by a special commission that will evaluate the motivational aspects but also the course of studies and the results obtained in terms of grade point average of the exams.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INTERNSHIP

The excellence internships will fully respect the rules, the durations and the usual dynamics of the curricular and formative internships, according to the regulations available on the institutional websites, controlled by the Rimini Campus Internship Office.

New legislation regarding internships:

In Emilia-Romagna, the regional law of 19 July 2013, № 7 is in force as of 16 September 2013. The Regional Law 7/2013, to confirm the strategic structure of Law 17, implements the "Guidelines on Internships" adopted by the Government, Regions and Autonomous Provinces with the agreement of January 24, 2013, as required by law 92 of 2012 "Provisions on the reform of the labor market with a growth perspective".
