Internship of second: see offers on 1pupil1stage now!

The compulsory second stage, also known as the "observation sequence", is intended to discover professions and to refine the choices of orientation.

It is carried out over a period of 2 weeks, june 16 to 27, 2025. It concerns second-level and technological students in public and private schools under contract, under the Ministry of National Education and the Ministry of Agriculture.

From 13 February, you can consult the platform 1student1stage which centralizes all opportunities for job shadowing for second-graders.

Your teachers and your school's educational team can also help you with your internship search.

You must, before the start of the internship, have a standard convention by the host school and your school (the latter normally sends you the document to fill in).

In which cases is an exemption possible?

• If you are in second grade in the hotel and catering technology series (STHR), your training already includes a mandatory 4-week internship in a professional environment.
• If you are participating in a cohesive stay, a mission of general interest under the National Universal Service (SNU), or if you are engaged in European or international mobility of a minimum duration of 2 weeks in the second class or 4 weeks in the first class during the last month of the school year.
