Funding Type 1: LEARN-University Funding and Selection Process

As part of this funding type 1 internship, generally four parties are involved: the student, the university, the intern hosting organization, and LEARN Logistics. The different roles and relationships are as follows:

• Relationship between the student and the university: as part of the type 1 funding, the enrolled student must complete or voluntarily completes an internship as per specifications in the curricula of the respective study program. The university curriculum determines the scope and duration of the internship, and takes responsibility for the selection process, i.e., eventually determines a short list of eligible students to be pitched to LEARN Logistics for internship funding.
• Relationship between the university and LEARN Logistics: both organizations determine if and what kind of funding for internships can be made available. They together decide on the overall funding amount, the individual student funding, and the overall selection process. LEARN Logistics will review the provided short-list of eligible students and makes the final decision about internship funding. Additionally, LEARN Logistics will work together with the university to develop a pool of organizations that will host interns and therefore offer internship opportunities for the enrolled or graduated students.
• Relationship between the student and LEARN Logistics: the selected student and LEARN Logistics will both settle on a funding agreement that specifies the terms and conditions of the actual funding.. LEARN Logistics will usually not interfere with the operational implementation of the internship, but will retain an observation role, i.e., will regularly performance check with the intern.
• Relationship between the student and the intern hosting organization: both parties usually sign an internship work contract for the duration of the internship period. The contract will also state if the internship is paid or unpaid. As a reminder, students who are privileged to already have obtained a paid internship position are not eligible to apply for additional support from LEARN Logistics – unless the payment they receive is inferior.  
• Relationship between the university, LEARN Logistics and the hosting intern organization: all three parties agree that the minimum requirement to secure the quality of the internship as established by the study program curriculum have been acknowledged and ensured by the hosting intern organization.

Generally, all already enrolled students or graduated students from the LEARN Logistics supported study programs are eligible to be considered for the internship funding. Therefore, please consider that LEARN Logistics currently offers Internship support potentially only to students from the following universities. Please note that not all the listed universities always offer internship funding by LEARN Logistics and for all study programs. The amount of available funding for internship opportunities is generally limited.  

Funding type 2: Individual student sign-up for internship on its own

If you are an enrolled student or graduate from one of the listed universities,

• AND your university or study program does not offer internship support by LEARN Logistics (please check with your Program Coordinator or Dean,
• AND you have organized yourself an internship position with an organization,
• AND that internship position is related to logistics and supply chain management work,
• AND your internship contract does not include any payment or an inferior payment for your work,

you are eligible to apply for funding support for your secured internship in LSCM with the hosting organization of your choice. Please note that funding for internship support by LEARN Logistics is not always available. The amount of available funding for internship opportunities is generally limited.
