The purpose of the internship is to enable students to try out, at the company, the professional project they designed during the course. Long-term immersion will speed up the professional application of the student’s academic training and serve as a passport to employment, which is needed to join a company or facilitate a creative project.

The assignment must include the use of the following skills:
