REQUREMENTS AND DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE MANUFACTURING INTERNSHIP

The student collects a set of documents related to the internship from the Dean’s Office.
In the case of a student training placement based on a referral from the university, the student receives in the documents the “Agreement on the organization of student work placement based on a referral from the university”, in the case when the placement is to take place based on an employment contract – the “Agreement on the organization of student work placement based on an employment contract”.
The student submits for the approval of the Traineeship Supervisor or a person an “Application for permission to conduct professional practice” in a company chosen by the student. The application should include a framework programme of the placement and confirmation of the student’s insurance cover during the period of the placement (confirmation is entered by an employee of the Dean’s Office). If a group of students will serve the in-service training at a selected company, they prepare a joint application.
The framework programme of the practical placement is established by the student in agreement with the Head of the company or his/her Representative for the placement. The framework programme of the placement should be in accordance with the content of the student’s field of study and possible to implement in the company chosen by the student.
After the approval of the above mentioned application, the student (group of students) receives a “Training referral” signed by the Training Supervisor.
If the internship takes place outside the student’s place of permanent residence or in Gliwice, the student signs a “Statement” on resignation from reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs and an application to the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs for allowing the internship to take place outside the place of permanent residence.
After obtaining the signature of the Faculty Internship Supervisor on the agreement, the Supervisor transfers two copies thereof to the student.
After the agreement is signed by the manager of the workplace or the Internship Supervisor, one copy remains at the workplace and the other is delivered to the Supervisor before the beginning of the internship.
The deadline for submission of documents for the internship is June 15.
After the completion of the Internship, the student is obliged to obtain a certificate from the manager of the workplace or the Internship Supervisor and submit it to the Supervisor in order to receive a credit for the Internship.
The credit for the internship is obtained by the Internship Supervisor on the basis of the certificate.
