Welcome for Young Students✯

It is possible for a young person wishing to do a discovery internship to carry out their internship within the ISIMA (engineering school in computer science) or the LIMOS (computer science laboratory) with the ISIMA/LIMOS IT service.

This request will be accepted based on the team members' availability to supervise the student, as certain periods may be busier than others.

Regulations - Agreements✯

An agreement is mandatory for a student to carry out a discovery internship within ISIMA/LIMOS. It must be completed by the educational establishment before the internship and signed by both the establishment and ISIMA or LIMOS.

To send the agreements, please email them to one of the following addresses:

Requesting an Internship - Cover Letter✯

To properly prepare for the internship, it is important that the student has some general ideas about the different careers in computer science.

You can see below the list of computer science careers practiced within ISIMA/LIMOS.

You must send the IT service, along with the internship request, a cover letter of at least ten lines. The request and the letter must be sent to the IT service at least two weeks before the internship.

The cover letter must indicate:

  • why the student is interested in the field of computer science
  • which types of careers might particularly interest them (see list below)
  • what knowledge and skills (environment, languages, etc.) the student already has

This letter must be sent to vincent.mazenod@limos.fr

To know

This letter is not discriminatory. Students discovering the field as well as those with a certain level will be accepted in the same way. The goal is mainly to better understand the student's abilities and interests to best prepare for their arrival.

And the resume?

No resume is required.

Internship Schedule✯

Installing a Machine✯

Upon arrival, the student will have access to a workstation on which they will need to install a new operating system (Windows or Linux).

Discovering Facilities, Services, and Tools✯

During this internship, the student will be able to:

Discover the facilities and specific rooms: server rooms, network room, computer labs, specialized labs (virtual reality, robotics, etc.)

Discover the services designed and managed by the IT team: information systems, Cloud, personal web pages, virtual machines

Discover the tools used by the IT team: Active Directory, DHCP, ticket managers, software forges, etc.

Acquiring Know-How and Soft Skills✯

Soft skills: Young interns generally have soft skills they can demonstrate during these internships. It is expected that these young people will be punctual, polite, and curious.

Know-how: Students do not need to have any prior theoretical or technical knowledge before starting the internship. However, through exercises or small projects, they can acquire basic skills in IT support, system administration, or development.

Discussions with Staff Members✯

One of the benefits of these internships is the meeting and exchange with professionals.

We will try to ensure that the student can interact with different profiles to get an idea of careers in various fields of computer science.
