RIS Internship life cycle
The lifecycle of the RIS Internship Programme starts with the launching of the Calls for applications. Calls for applications are envisaged as follows (the Programme managers maintain the right to change the schedule):
All calls will be published on the Programme website, which we like to call a Business - Intern Matching Platform.
Organisations apply via an online application form available on the website. Applied and approved organisations will enter the open database Pool of organisations, providing all relevant information online, for the potential interns to explore. The database is managed and maintained by the RIS Internship programme coordinator. Students will be able to read the descriptions of all organisations and see the details of internship opportunities (number of open positions, possibility to accept international/national/EIT Labelled students, available months,..) and submit their application for the most suitable one (and one or two alternative options).
Matchmaking of the students and organisations will be made by the RIS Internship programme coordinator, by following an agreed procedure. After a match between the student and an organisation is made, two contracts will be signed: one between the Programme management (UNIZG-RGNF) and the student, and the second one between UNIZG-RGNF and the hosting organisation. After the signature of the contracts, both the student and the supervisor will be directed to an online training (webinars) prepared by the Consortium. Immediately after the completion of the training, a competency assessment will be carried out. The competency assessment test is obligatory for each student passing the eligibility check for our programme, and for all organisations currently in the pool as well as all new organisations joining the pool. It is also a prerequisite to stay in our databases.
Based on the contracts signed, funds will be awarded to the student (according to the categories listed in the Call for students).
After the completion of an individual internship, a final report and evaluation report will be submitted by an intern to the Programme managers (using an online form). The respective supervisor will access only the evaluation survey assessing the intern, internship implementation and other elements of the Programme, in order to monitor and improve the quality of the programme.
