The first professional experience I received in my area of academic education was through an internship at the EDP Group. I had the chance to work with colleagues from different areas and backgrounds within the Human Resources area, which allowed me to have a very comprehensive view of that field and determine which aspects would be of interest to me in the long term, after the internship had finished. Starting my career at EDP was decisive and allowed me to challenge myself at all levels, since I had the opportunity to work in different Group companies, and I strongly emphasise the teamwork and mutual help I experienced in each of them. I think it's a company with great opportunities.

Why does EDP have a curricular internship programme?

Each edition is a new opportunity for us to welcome young people and to help them enhance their academic knowledge through a real and multidisciplinary experience. To achieve our goals, we intend to attract young people through the various opportunities we have created, such as the EDP Scholar Internship.

How long does EDP Scholar Internship last?

The EDP Scholar Internship has a flexible duration, according to the needs of the those involved (participant, team and curriculum to be completed).

If I apply now, what time of year am I applying for?

When you apply, we ask you about your areas of interest and your availability in terms of the internship’s duration and the period for which you are applying. Apply as soon as you know you want to do a curricular internship, even if it isn’t in the near future.

Can I do my academic thesis at EDP?

Yes, there is a possibility of completing an academic thesis during the curricular internship period, when you can take advantage of the support and knowledge of the people on the team you going to be part of.

Does there need to be an agreement between my educational institute and EDP in order to take part in the EDP Scholar Internship?

No. As curricular internships are usually part of study plans, the relationship in such an internship is three-way, between the student, the educational institute and EDP. However, there is no need to have a prior agreement in place

Is the EDP Scholar Internship looking for people with a specific profile?

We are looking for more than technical skills and academic knowledge; above all, we are looking for people who want to put their ambitions and skills into practice. Applications are welcome from people from all academic backgrounds. Through the EDP Scholar Internship you will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in the professional area of your choice: management, economics and finance; sales, marketing and digital; engineering; IT, data science and analytics; legal and human resources; among others.

Can I apply for more than one ad and to different areas?

Yes, you can. We know that more and more young people want to try different professional areas, so you can apply to different functional areas.

I am a student and want to gain some professional experience. Is the EDP Scholar Internship the only option?

No. There is also the EDP Summer Internship, which is a flexible short-term internship programme that allows interns to gain experience in a wide variety of professional areas. You can find out more about this programme here.
