Overview
The ST Sicily Internship Camp program provides exciting internship experiences in sustainable finance, business, development, art & history, and more. Alongside the internship, students reside with other interns from around the world and participate in cultural, social, personal and professional development excursions together. In the same way that lasting friendships are built through summer camps, the internship camps of ST Sicily will create international friendships through a shared work and learning experiences.
STSicily, established in 2016, is an organization dedicated to enhancing students’ careers by connecting them with top local and international Italian companies.
Throughout the internship, workshops and courses are offered that delve into both the specific domain of the internship and essential soft skills. In today’s digital age, acquiring hard skills is easily accessible; however, what is often lacking is proper education on soft skills. Whether aspiring to be an entrepreneur or an employee, soft skills are indispensable. They serve as the distinguishing factors based on your values. While hard skills are highly regarded in a competitive world, equal importance must be placed on effective communication, empathetic listening, understanding systemic thinking, embracing design thinking, fostering creativity, and cultivating critical thinking.
Beyond the internship, students are actively engaged in open innovation strategies, fostering creativity and generating new ideas. ST Sicily facilitate an environment that benefits companies significantly, enabling them to revitalize their internal departments and enhance their brand. On weekends, the learning experience is extended beyond the professional realm by organizing enjoyable and networking activities, such as boat trips, sightseeing tours, cooking classes, events, and various other engaging activities. These activities aim to facilitate connections among students, fostering new friendships and creating a supportive community.
