It is important that you spend some time gaining practical experience in the United States before you embark on your internship in France. French companies have indicated that it would be preferable if Technopole France students had some experience in industry before coming to Toulouse. For this reason, you are encouraged to participate in summer work experience (internships). At least one summer is required. It is your responsibility to seek these summer positions.

Please attend the University or School of Engineering sponsored Career Fairs or Career Expos. This provides you additional opportunities to find summer internships.

In addition you are responsible for:

• Preparing a professional resume and keeping it up to date,
• Registering for Engr 3281 so that your internship can be entered on your transcript
• Developing and maintaining professional references from your summer internship(s) on your resume
