The aim of internships is to enable students to gain practical experience in organizations of the public sector (civil service & state administration, local government, non-governmental organizations, etc.) or private companies delivering public sector-relevant services. In the course of their internships, students are to learn and rehearse practical skills as well as gain access to data for their diploma theses. Department of Public and Social Policy takes great care of helping to broker top employment opportunities for its graduates. To this end, it maintains and continues to expand a network of partner organisations to which students have access during their studies in the form of compulsory work placements and internships. These include the most prestigious and useful public administration organisations, non-profit organisations, think tanks and corporations from the private sector. Regular opportunity fairs are held throughout the year and the experience of students and employers is continuously evaluated. It is slowly becoming a rule that our trainees in partner organisations remain in permanent employment after their internship/placement. And if they don't, they leave with a sensational experience and an item on their CV that carries a lot of weight in subsequent job interviews.
The internship takes place either in concentrated form over the summer holidays or spread over the school term. The minimum duration of the internship is 80 hours. However, longer periods or longer internships can be arranged and accepted. A catalogue of partner organisations is available to students. Information about current opportunities with partner organisations can be found on the department's Facebook account. However, the catalogue and the list of offers are for guidance only. Students can arrange an internship with any organization as long as it meets the general criteria of the field. A bilateral agreement can be concluded with the relevant organisation, which is signed by the Dean on behalf of the Faculty. If an agreement with a partner organisation is required, a minimum of 14 days should be allowed for the agreement to be processed. However, the agreement is not a requirement. In the absence of an agreement between the faculty and the partner organisation, it is the student's responsibility to ensure that he/she receives a confirmation letter and evaluation report signed by a representative of the receiving institution (forms available in the IS).

Praxe probíhá buď jednorázově o prázdninách nebo průběžně ve školním roce. Minimální rozsah stáže je 80 hodin. Lze ovšem domluvit a uznat i delší časový rozsah, případně dlouhodobější praxi. Studentům bude k dispozici katalog aktuálních příležitostí u partnerských organizací. Tento katalog však slouží jen jako orientační pomůcka. Studenti se mohou na absolvování stáže domluvit s libovolnou organizací, pokud tato splňuje obecná kritéria oboru. S příslušnou organizací lze uzavřít dvostrannou dohodu, kterou za fakultu podepisuje paní děkanka. Pokud je dohoda s fakultou partnerskou organizací vyžadována, je zapotřebí počítat minimálně se 14-ti denní lhůtou na její vyřízení. Pokud neexistuje dohoda mezi fakultou a partnerskou organizací, je povinností studenta zajistit si potvrzení o absolvování stáže a hodnocení na formuláři, který je přiložen níže.
Shrnutí postupu:
Student/ka si po konzultaci s vedoucí/m práce vybere stáž. Stáže mohou proběhnout i v soukromém sektoru. Stáží lze absolvovat více.
Garant předmětu stáž schválí.
Student/ka si samostatně dohodne stáž, případně (pokud je partnerskou organizací vyžadována) rovněž zajistí podpis samostatné dohody o zajištění stáže u poskytovatele ve 4 vyhotoveních (viz formulář 17 na https://fsv.cuni.cz/studium/formulare-navody/formulare-bc-mgr), které následně předá na sekretariát katedry. V případě, že je dohoda s fakultou vyžadována, musí student/ka počítat s cca 14-ti dny na vyřízení před zahájením stáže.
Student/ka absolvuje stáž/praxi v rozsahu nejméně 80 hodin.
Do 14 dní od absolvování stáže sepíše student/ka Zprávu z praxe, kterou spolu s podepsaným hodnocením poskytovatele stáže předá garantovi předmětu.
Student/ka se zúčastní závěrečného setkání, kde budou prezentuje a diskutuje své zkušenosti se získáním praxe a jejím průběhem.
Mezi nejčastější instituce patří orgány veřejné správy (z ministerstev především Úřad vlády, Ministerstvo práce a sociálních věcí, Ministerstvo pro místní rozvoj, Ministerstvo vnitra, dále potom krajské úřady, ale i městské části) a neziskové organizace poskytující sociální služby. Příklady institucí: Evropská rozvojová agentura, Institut plánování a rozvoje Hl.města Prahy, Městská část Praha 9, Sdružení pro integraci a migraci.
