INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

A group presentation will be held in Dobrich and Varna campuses. (Attendance is strongly recommended even if the student works. We do believe that information provided on that presentation would be useful for you. Students will receive an invitation email from Student affairs department at your campus).

Students will be introduced to the rules and regulations, as well as become familiar with the documents required for the Program. The following items will be discussed in our session: how to write a CV – general rules, how to present yourself in the social networks, email etiquette, rules for presenting yourself on an interview, etc.

Step 1 – Meeting of the Career Center Coordinator with the student.

Before the meeting: The student shall send his/her CV to petya.petrova@vumk.eu

Once the student`s CV is finally approved by the Career Center, the student shall write to petya.petrova@vumk.eu to make an appointment.

The admitted students/participants to the Internship Program and their legal guardians should sign the Final Offer Letter sent by the Career Center within the specified period therein. If the Final Offer Letter is not signed by the legal guardian, the student should write in his/her own handwriting that his/her parents are aware of all the needed details and agree with it.

For example: I ………… (student’s full name) fully understand all the terms and conditions of the internship agreement, and hereby declare that my parents are fully aware of my internship details as well, and they agreed to it. (Signature)

Deadline: Mid-April

Step 3 – Signing a tripartite Agreement/Contract between the student, the school and the employer.

Once the Agreement/Contract is signed, THE STUDENT IS NOT ALLOWED to change his/ her decision, unless they do it for valid reasons.

The Career Center shall assist students in document preparation, but it is students’ responsibility to submit the correct documents on time.

Internship Program STARTs

The student needs to send a short essay and 3-4 photos from his/her work environment.

The Student is responsible to print out the Evaluation Form and hand it over to the employer to fill and sign at the end of his/her internship.
