Program Information

As a Youth Development & Education intern in Rome, you’ll assist experienced teachers in their support of students, aiming to reach their full potential. Come prepared to support students and educators, encouraging positive interactions and enhancing your own personal and professional development.

Eligibility Requirements

Education internships in Italy are suitable for students and recent graduates with at least one year of relevant college/university study in a related field, such as Education or Social Sciences. High School graduates aged 18+ may be accepted depending on the strength of their application (including any relevant experience, with a desire to grow and learn within this field).

Internships in Rome include mandatory Italian language lessons, which are included within the minimum duration requirement of the internship.

Internship Details 

Looking to gain real-world international teaching experience? A Youth Development & Education internship in Rome offers an exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in the classroom and make a meaningful impact. Whether helping with lessons, tutoring, or assisting with school management tasks, interns can build valuable skills in a dynamic environment.

For Education interns, placement assignments will vary, according to review of your resume and current level of studies and experience. In line with child safeguarding standards, Youth Development & Education interns must have the ability to provide a safe, supportive, and reliable presence. Interns will be required to tasks without impairment from any health condition that could reasonably compromise judgment, reliability, or the safety of others. This includes the ability to demonstrate sound judgment, uphold professional standards of dress, maintain emotional stability in a professional setting, and communicate clearly and respectfully. This will be strictly monitored by internship supervisors or other placement staff.

Academic Schedule & Holidays

Education internship placements will vary, based on the academic calendar. The Summer holidays in Italy start in June, when interns can assist in summer camps and private English language schools. School resumes in September and placements are available for the rest of the year, except during a three week break over Christmas and New Year. We encourage interns who are interested in this field to plan around the break during July and August, especially if they are more interested in getting involved with public or private schools.

Do I need to speak Italian for this internship? Italian language proficiency is not a requirement to join. However, interns should expect that a language barrier can still be encountered to a certain extent. Come prepared and willing to surmount a language barrier (and ask for help when needed), as opposed to being intimidated by it.

To support you further, all internships in Rome include mandatory Italian language lessons, which are included within the minimum duration requirement of the internship:

For beginners to the Italian language (levels A1 and A2), you’re required to complete a four-week Italian language course at an accredited language school in Rome before you start at your internship placement. This is included in the internship program and the lessons will commence according to your chosen internship start date.
Interns with intermediate Italian will be required to complete just two weeks of language lessons, prior to commencing the placement. If you have intermediate language skills, please note that you will be required to provide verification (such as a B1 or B2 level certificate) and/or demonstrate your listening comprehension and spoken proficiency. These two abilities (listening and speaking) are the most important skills that will be assessed, to determine if you’re able to complete your internship as an “intermediate” speaker of Italian.

Additional lessons can be arranged in-country, for those who wish to continue their Italian language education in Rome.

Typical Schedule: Approximately Monday to Friday, 30-40 hours per week. Hours may vary depending on the schedule of your internship placement. Flexibility is required.
