Work opportunities for students

Finding a job as a student in Italy can be a rewarding experience, providing you with valuable skills, income, and opportunities to interact with the local community.

Italy offers plenty of opportunities to young people and international students in many different fields, from hospitality services to big technology companies to the fashion industry.

Studying in Italy allows you to work up to 20 hours per week. After you complete University, if you hold one, you can convert your student residence permit into a post study work visa, which grants you 12 months to look for a job in Italy.

Here are some recommendations to help you in your job search during your studies:

• Check University Resources
  Most Universities have career services or job placement offices that can assist students in finding part-time jobs, internships, or temporary positions. Visit your University’s career center to explore available opportunities. Also, many Universities offer on-campus job opportunities for students.
• Language Skills
  The tourism sector in Italy accounts for almost 10% of the country’s GDP. For this reason, foreign languages, especially English and especially in large cities, are in great demand. Put a lot of emphasis on your language skills, without forgetting to learn at least a little Italian, which is always highly appreciated by the Italian people.
• Local Job Portals
  Explore local job portals and websites where employers post part-time or temporary positions. Websites like Indeed.com, InfoJobs.it, and LinkedIn may have job listings for student-friendly roles.
• Local Businesses and Shops
  Approach local businesses, cafes, restaurants, and shops to inquire about part-time positions. Many businesses appreciate hiring students who are eager to work and bring a fresh perspective to the workplace.
