Internship Program
An education built for success, created by you
Find your passion and get our support
Grade 11 students and ZIS alumni have the opportunity to take part in an optional Internship Program. The program includes workshops for current students to learn the basic skills needed to find a job, including CV and letter writing and interview skills.
Students then have the opportunity to apply for an unpaid summer internship, usually for two to six weeks, during the summer — and they can do the workshops even if they do not intend to apply for an internship. If you are interested in offering an internship, please contact Dale Braunschweig at dbraunschweig@zis.ch.

Community Support
Giving students their first experience of work
Every year, dozens of ZIS students take up internships across Switzerland – and many of those opportunities are provided by the ZIS community. But what is it really like to have a member of the ZIS community working for you?
