course of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students planning to complete an internship are enroled in a&nbsp;prerequisite course in the Winter Semester (semester 3 or 5) that is designed to prepare&nbsp;participants for both their upcoming applied learning experience and the career management skills required to successfully&nbsp;navigate future professional transitions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prep course provides information and activities related to everything from identifying personal and professional strengths, job duty preferences and conducting industry research to more practical skills such as resume and cover letter writing social media presence, networking and interviewing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, more than 300 Bachelors and Masters students of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance complete a mandatory or optional internship lasting a minimum of four weeks to a maximum of 24 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As academic courses take place in the Winter semester, all internships must start after the Winter exam session or later on during the Summer semester. The internship periods vary from one programme to another as each programmes\u2019 academic requirements are different. Detailed information on the internship periods of each programme can be found on the Placement Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;Student Counsellor&nbsp;serves as an intermediary between you and the professional environment in order to guide you in your choice of internship in connection with your programme and personal objectives, as well as support you in drafting your CV and applying for opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion accordion accordion--theme accordion-standard\" data-reference=\"10da71dc-a727-4f8a-982a-9917470e3e3f\" data-accordion-type=\"standard\"><div class=\"accordion__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion-item\">\n    <h3 class=\"accordion__header\"\n        >\n        <button\n            type=\"button\"\n            id=\"accordion-labelledby-8e0351ee-5657-4441-8517-5df35bba8383\"\n            class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n            aria-expanded=\"false\"\n            aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-8e0351ee-5657-4441-8517-5df35bba8383\"\n            data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n            data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-8e0351ee-5657-4441-8517-5df35bba8383\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                                Practical Guide for Candidates            <\/span>\n\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-8e0351ee-5657-4441-8517-5df35bba8383\"\n        class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\"\n        aria-labelledby=\"accordion-labelledby-8e0351ee-5657-4441-8517-5df35bba8383\"\n        data-bs-parent=\"[data-reference=&quot;10da71dc-a727-4f8a-982a-9917470e3e3f&quot;]\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"accordion__body \">\n            \n<p>Follow these tips to successfully find and land an internship which corresponds to your interests, goals, and study programme requirements.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Professional project development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Develop your <strong>Career and Internship Marketing Plan<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Develop your <strong>Professional Project <\/strong><strong>Pitch<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Do targeted internship and company research consistent with your Professional Project (job boards, networking events, business news, industry blogs, personal networks and contacts, LinkedIn jobs, etc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Participate in Career Center workshops and visit the Internship Course on Moodle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Personal network development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Create and\/or update your LinkedIn profile (this is a must)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Connect to targeted group(s) on LinkedIn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Attend networking events, speaker series, trade shows and conferences for your targeted industry as often as possible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>CV and Cover Letter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Prepare targeted applications following the recommendations:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Establish why you are targeting this company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Explain what you know and what you can do<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Be specific about what you want<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Describe why the company would want you as an intern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Set a time for follow-up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Dos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Do research your target to learn as much as possible about them.

The employment contract may contain terms conditional on the fulfilment of requirements related to authorisation to work in Luxembourg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">The Company must post the vacant position at the national employment agency (ADEM) for three weeks, taking care to fully describe the position. If, after three weeks, no suitable candidate has applied for the position, the company may request that ADEM issue a certificate that allows the company to employ a person of its choice (including one from outside the EU\/EEA\/CH area). The Company provides the student with the ADEM certificate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">The Graduate submits an application for an \u201cAuthorisation to stay for a third-country national for the purpose of a salaried occupation (salaried worker)\u201d, together with the employment contract, the ADEM certificate, and all other required documents.

If the Graduate returns to his or her country of origin, any subsequent application for a work permit will not benefit from the provisions of Article 59 of the above-cited law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">The authorisation to stay for salaried workers is granted for one profession in one sector for any employer. This restriction remains in force for three years. A change of sector or profession is only permitted with the authorisation of the Minister responsible for immigration matters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">The work permit issued will be valid for one year, after which it may be renewed for three years, provided the employment of the Graduate at that time corresponds to the conditions of employment under which it was granted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Discover six practical tips from FDEF Student Counsellor Nad\u00e8ge MEYER-HAMY to help you land your dream internship.
