TL1 · PROFESSIONAL GRAND TOUR
Professional Internships in Italy
Italy. Work. Grow.
Real work experience and local support for young people
Why choose Travel & Learn?
We help schools and sending organisations create internships in Italy that combine practical learning, everyday life and local support.
Personal support
Support begins with a welcome session covering the programme, accommodation, transport and workplace routines. On the first working day, we accompany participants to their host companies.
Throughout the stay, we provide practical and personal support and maintain contact with sending organisations and host companies. A final meeting, including feedback at the host company, helps participants reflect on their progress.
2. How your internship experience works
We agree the placement, learning objectives and practical arrangements with the sending organisation, taking account of participants’ training, ages and needs.
01
Internship programmes
Each programme starts with what participants need to learn. Together, we define the professional fields, dates, duration and learning objectives, then identify the activities and support suited to the group.
We work with Erasmus+ projects and other international training and mobility pathways.
02
WORK Placement matching
We consider participants’ studies, skills, language knowledge and learning goals when identifying suitable host companies.
Our network includes local SMEs in production, hospitality, catering and other sectors. Placements are arranged according to the project requirements and company availability.
03
Accommodation
Accommodation is an important part of the experience, particularly for young people living abroad for the first time.
We help organise a suitable solution, taking account of the group’s ages, size, destination and practical requirements, including travel to the workplace.
04
Tutoring
Our tutors provide a point of contact throughout the stay. They help participants reflect on their experience, discuss progress and address difficulties.
Contact with the sending organisation and workplace tutor helps keep the placement connected to its learning objectives.
05
Cultural programme
Visits and local activities, when included in the agreed programme, help participants discover the area outside work and spend time together.
06
Local support
From arrival information to understanding local transport and daily routines, practical support helps participants find their feet.
We agree the services needed with each sending organisation, so the group knows what to expect and whom to contact during the stay.
3. Experience life in Italy
An internship is a chance to get to know Italy through everyday experience. Brescia, Bergamo and Trento offer different settings for discovering local communities, culture and working life.
Territory
Explore the place where you are staying: its neighbourhoods, landscapes, businesses and meeting places. Discover how the local area shapes people’s lives and work.
Community
Meet colleagues, tutors and local people. Everyday conversations and shared activities help participants feel more connected to their surroundings and practise communicating across cultures.
Culture
Discover local history, traditions and ways of life. Cultural experiences provide context for what participants see around them and encourage curiosity about a different country.
Everyday life
Learning to navigate a new place, organise a daily routine and share accommodation can build confidence and independence. These everyday experiences are an important part of learning abroad.
4. Why trust Travel & Learn?
Our team combines local knowledge and experience in international mobility to coordinate placements, practical arrangements and participant support.

Our experience
Travel & Learn is part of Tempo Libero, a social cooperative based in Brescia. Our work in education and international mobility informs how we support participants and collaborate with partner organisations.
We consider both the training objectives and the individual needs.
Skills to take home
An internship abroad is also a chance to develop independence, adaptability and confidence: finding your way in a new place, communicating across cultures and taking responsibility in everyday situations.
