Internships can take place in: a production or service company, an industrial research center located in Belgium or abroad. An "internship market" with offers gathered by the Internships Coordination Office is accessible for students on the EPL virtual office (see "how to find a job" sub section). Naturally, the option for students to use thier personal contacts network can always be useful and efficient.

The main objective of the internship is to be able to contribute to a concrete project within the company. This can be done in several ways such as investment or R&D project, supervision of a construction site, improvement project for a production process, project focused on a quality maintenance, logistics, security, management issue, etc.
