Internships
Curricular, professional and summer internships in Faro. What you do here does not sit in a drawer: it goes live in municipalities, schools and companies.
Pick what you would most like to do and we will show you where you could fit in at Visualforma Grupo.
You start alongside the systems and networks team: preparing equipment, going along to client installations and seeing how what cannot fail is kept running. It is the area that takes the most interns.
Development of the platforms municipalities use to talk to the people who live there. You work on code that goes live, with citizens on the other end — which changes how you think about what you write.
Sensors, counts and maps: technology applied to running a city. It suits both IT and electrical engineering internships, and there is fieldwork — it is not all done at a desk.
Video surveillance and decision-support systems, for people working in civil protection and security. You learn to look at a system thinking of whoever will use it under pressure.
Writing for the site and for social media, preparing campaigns and supporting events and webinars. You work with all four areas at once, which means understanding a little of each in order to explain them.
Following clients from the first conversation through to delivery: understanding what they need, helping to prepare proposals and keeping track of deadlines and of the teams doing the work. It is where you best see the whole group at work.
Accounting, invoicing, purchasing and support for the public tenders the group bids for. It is methodical work, and it is what keeps the rest of the house moving.
Nobody has to pick their area straight away, and an internship is exactly how you find out. Put your course in the application and we will tell you which teams would make sense.

For those still on a course
The internship that is part of your course, under an agreement between your school or university and the group. You work on a real project, with a mentor from the team and another from your institution.
Duration: As set by the course
For those who have just finished
A first real job, under an IEFP scheme or equivalent. It is how much of the technical team got here: the internship ends and they stay.
Duration: Several months
For those still studying
A few weeks away from classes to see what this is like from the inside. Not photocopying: you join a team and leave knowing what a project is.
Duration: A few weeks over the summer
You send an application with your CV and a line about what interests you. You do not need experience — that is what an internship is for.
A conversation with HR and another with the team you would join. No trick questions: we want to know what you have done and what you feel like learning.
Dates, hours, mentor and what you will be doing, in writing. If the internship is curricular, we handle the agreement with your school.
In the first month you are already working on something that goes live, with someone beside you to answer questions. What you do here ends up running in municipalities, schools and companies.
The ones we always get, answered straight.
Yes, and that is the usual route. Internship applications are kept on file and looked at when teams plan the next term or summer. Every application gets an answer.
Mostly IT, networks and electrical engineering, but also management, marketing and communication — the group has technical and non-technical areas.
Yes, at the office in Faro. In the first months you learn far more beside the team than from home, and some of the work is at client premises.
You have someone from the team assigned to your internship, who you can ask anything, and the head of the area follows your progress.
It often happens, but it depends on there being a role open and on both sides wanting it. We do not promise a job in order to attract applications.
Duration, hours and terms are set out in writing before you start, and vary with the type of internship and the agreement with your institution. Talk to HR about your case.
