Internship Policy
Let's work together to reveal your talents ?
BOURBON's success is based on its ambition, its sound values and its diversity.
We are seeking young professionals with varied backgrounds and nationalities and different experiences. It is your enthusiasm, your professionalism, your goals and motivations that will reveal your potential.
Doing an internship with BOURBON is an opportunity to:
- Learn about a global company,
- Acquire sound, worthwhile experience,
- Be part of a professional team,
- Be entrusted with an actual mission with real responsibilities.
No matter how your internship turns out, you will have acquired experience that will be a genuine asset for your professional life.
Interns are included in BOURBON's incubator for young talents.
Are you a seaman?
Internships are mandatory and are part of the initial training curriculum for officers defined by the STCW Convention (International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers).
About a hundred students are today in the process of being certified as seafarers under the BOURBON colors. They come from all backgrounds at all stages of the STCW training curriculum.
Are you interested in an inter-departmental position?
Interns are hired based on their course of study and their career plan. BOURBON hires students from Higher Education Institutions, universities or from top high standard schools either in their senior year or final year.
The internship is long - six months in average.
Each intern is assigned a mission in a concrete project, according to specifications validated by the Human Resources Department, in the following areas:
- Procurement/Logistics
- Information Technology
- Communications
- Legal
- Human resources
- Finance
- Subsea
BOURBON assigns the intern to an actual mission in the company.
Interns go through an induction phase to learn about BOURBON and its professional environment.
An internship instructor (an employee with experience in the area of the mission assigned) supervises their work.
After the mission, interns will have acquired experience in a work situation at a professional level in line with their educational levels.
Testimony
What I like at BOURBON, more than just the fact of having the trainee opportunity, is the BOURBON spirit, culture, and sense of family. It’s obvious that the directors have close relations with the managers, employees and seamen – they are experienced people who know the field, they are seamen at heart. It’s not just anyone at the helm. What I like about my training course is that I have been involved in a particular project since the beginning: I didn’t just arrive in the middle but I was there right from the start and will be there till the project ends. My training has been genuinely based on this project and I will be seeing it through to the end.
