The CIP Internship Program is a collaboration between industry and CIP focused on providing top-level students a practical work environment, thus facilitating the transfer of knowledge between industry and academia to the benefit of both actors.

At CIP, one of the main missions is to educate world-class engineering, law, and business students whose abilities to create value in a knowledge-based business will exceed industry expectations and provide valuable results to all parties involved. Thus, the goal of the program is to expose students from CIP’s interdisciplinary graduate programs to the rigors of the high-tech business world, where they can continue their action-based education, which is promoted in the graduate program through business simulations and practical work assignments.

In addition, the hope is that the leading edge business skills and tools taught in the graduate education will find the useful application and possible adoption within the host firms as well. This policy outlines the principles behind the internship program and the procedure for the distribution of internship opportunities among students.
