Internships
The Trinity College Rome Campus internship program counts towards an academic credit, is supported by an internship seminar and includes a number of options in various sectors: Arts and design, business and law, food and service, education, social work, sports, media, entertainment and more.
Participation in the internship program puts students in close daily contact with Italian co-workers and gives them the opportunity to practice their Italian in a professional setting. Our internship programming integrated with course content when possible.
- Although internships are available to students at all levels of Italian language, some internships may have language requirements, and are limited to students who have intermediate or higher level of Italian.
- Internships are unpaid and earn academic credit, and will be taken in conjunction with an internship seminar about Italian culture (1 Trinity credit = 3.5 semester hours).
- Students are required to work a 100 hours during the semester at their internship.
- Unless otherwise noted, internships require an average weekly commitment of 8-10 hours.
- While the Rome Campus does everything possible to place interested students in an internship, placements are not guaranteed and may vary according to sponsor availability.

It is said that every internship is an opportunity to learn, I always assumed that to be true, however, when you are the one supposed to be doing the teaching I did not think I would learn as much as I would. Seeing how the teacher interacted with the students and vice versa, and how the students interacted with one another. I learnt so much Italian just by sitting there and paying attention.

"I went [into the internship] with the mindset that I wanted my internship to be a cultural experience, something I could look back on and tell my kids when I'm older about. Something that I could say would always have a special place in my heart. I did not know I would become such good friends with Chef Andrea, but I did and I am forever grateful for that. I not only learned a lot about food and Italian cuisine, but I learned what it means to live life doing something you love. Something Chef Andrea said to some clients one time that will always stick with me the rest of life is "no matter what happens in life, you need to do something you love and care about and you cannot do something because someone else told you to" Matt Jumes Spring '24 - Trinity College
