Internships at HEIP
Internships are integrated into the curriculum. It is a real moment of learning and professional integration. The HEIP Career Center supports students in their search for an internship, the definition of their missions and their professional project.
From the second year of Bachelor, students are supported to build their CV. In the third year, they are coached to learn how to present themselves to the recruiter. In the first year of the MSc Cycle, these courses are offered for new entrants and more extensive support is offered for students looking for an alternate internship (group and individual coaching).
Students can complete up to 14 months of internship in France and/or abroad. This will allow them to build a professional path by applying on a practical ground the knowledge acquired during their courses.

COMPANIES, RECRUIT OUR INTERNSHIP STUDENTS!
The “classic” internship agreement
The student retains his status and the tuition fees are his responsibility. The trainee is registered in the personnel register of the host company.
The gratuity (in accordance with decree n°2014 of November 27, 2014 specifying the terms of application of certain provisions provided for by law n°2014-788 of July 10, 2014) corresponds to the minimum contractual amount, i.e. 15% of the hourly ceiling of the social security multiplied by the number of hours worked during the month by the trainee. The company will not pay charges if it does not remunerate the student beyond the 15% of the social security hourly ceiling. The internship cannot exceed 132 days of presence in the company, i.e. 924 hours, i.e. 6 months.

“The Sahelian region is particularly attractive to the international media, and is currently plunged into insecurity due to the terrorism that continues to strike. Paradoxically, the country remains a very welcoming and development-oriented land.
During this internship, I had the chance to work with the ambassador and his advisors. I wrote reports for the Embassy’s department heads, diplomatic notes for the first counselor, and participated in the organization of events (with the SCAC in particular).”
The OSCE, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, is an international organization that attracted me a lot. We were lucky enough to have as a teacher the former French ambassador to the OSCE, who explained to us at length the workings of this organization, based in Vienna. So I applied to the Biep, had an interview and got this internship. For 6 months, I am in Vienna, and I work for the Permanent Representation of France to the OSCE.
My internship is divided into two main missions:
I write the minutes of the Permanent Council (which is held every week)
I ensure the diplomatic correspondence between thedirections générales à Paris et la délégation.
Ce stage me permet d’avoir un aperçu exhaustif du fonctionnement des relations internationales, sur un spectre de thématique très large. En effet, l’OSCE étant divisé entre 3 dimensions, je suis affiliée à la deuxième et troisième, à savoir la dimension économique et la dimension droits de l’homme et démocratie. En outre, mes missions dépendent du besoin des diplomates que j’assiste : il peut m’arriver de voyager (je suis partie en déplacement à Bratislava pendant deux jours pour assister à une conférence) ou encore de représenter ma délégation dans certaines réunions.
UNRIC maintains links with the different institutions of the European Union and works in collaboration with governments, media, different NGOs as well as local authorities and educational institutions.
The intern at UNRIC has different tasks depending on the office he/she works for (France, Italy, Benelux, Spain, UK and Ireland, Greece, Nordic …).
The first task in the morning is common to all: reading the national press and writing “headlines”: short summaries of the important events of the day, sent to the UN spokesperson for distribution to all UN staff worldwide.
The days at UNRIC are all different and are articulated between writing press reviews, articles for the website, management of social networks,diffusion des valeurs onusiennes et des objectifs de développement durable (ODD).
Les stagiaires sont amenés à participer à beaucoup d’évènements extérieurs (conférences, European Development Days, Ciné-ONU) et ont souvent la chance d’échanger avec les autres agences basées à Bruxelles (UNHCR, UN Environmement…). Tout cela avec une vingtaine d’autres stagiaires venus des quatre coins du monde. L’UNRIC est un lieu d’échange et de rencontre débordant de personnes désireuses de se battre pour les idéaux onusiens et diffuser les valeurs de l’organisation.
