Why Turin for internships and mobility programs
Turin's working culture is precise, engineering-respectful and proudly Piedmontese — long lunches, strong wine traditions (Barolo, Barbaresco within an hour), and an aristocratic café culture around Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo. The Erasmus+ community is large but less touristic than Florence or Rome, with international students concentrated around the Politecnico and via Po. Aperitivo culture is genuinely a daily ritual.
Economy
Turin is a key economic hub in Italy, attracting international companies and offering an internship market that spans early-stage startups, established SMEs and multinational employers.
Key sectors
Active host-company sectors in Turin: engineering, automotive, tech, industry. Each Erasmus+ internship is matched to the participant's field of study.
International environment
English is the working language in most international placements in Turin. Teams are typically multinational, and incoming Erasmus+ participants integrate alongside an established alumni network.
