So what is it exactly that you’re looking for in an internship?

We usually try to find out what your super power is and find you a team or project that fits your interests. Front end, back end, app or web development, business, supply chain, finance, operations, IoT, SAP, AI, data – you name it, chances are high that we have an exciting and real case for you to work on.

What do we offer you during an internship at delaware?

• Full ownership of your own project: you are in charge and decide how you tackle the challenge. In the end, you’ll be the expert on your internship topic and our colleagues will be happy to hear your thoughts.
• A lot of learning and dedicated guidance by a team of consultants.
• An innovation project that brings actual value to us or our customers. As an intern, you won’t be running back and forth to the coffee machine.
• Most importantly: a fun work environment with awesome colleagues and ‘koffiekoeken’ on Mondays.

Simon – Data & AI

I joined the Microsoft Data & AI team during my delaware internship to explore my passion for innovative solutions. My project focused on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to help automate proposal drafting, a cutting-edge topic that challenged me from day one. I even presented my findings to an international audience, which was nerve-wracking but rewarding. I’m thankful for the mentorship and guidance I received from colleagues. It gave me independence to learn and the confidence to grow.

Mona – Data

During my internship, I had the opportunity to work on a Microsoft data governance tool implementation for a client, which gave me real responsibility and the chance to make an impact. Because the team was always supportive, this was an experience that shaped my professional confidence.

Eduard – SAP Commerce

During my internship I worked on integrating new AI tools and even presented my findings to both the team and my school. I really liked that I had the opportunity to work on innovative projects that will shape the future. I could really feel that delaware invests in people and creates an environment where you can grow, which is why I chose to stay.

Sam – Software Development

For my internship, delaware offered me a mix of technical projects and demo work for fairs, which gave me a taste of both development and pre-sales. One memorable moment was supporting a live demo in Spain remotely - it was stressful but exciting, and hearing that it went well was a great feeling. They made me feel part of the bigger picture, not just my project.

Elise – Data & AI

Starting my internship at delaware felt like stepping into a welcoming community. What stood out most were the small moments: coffee chats with senior colleagues, team lunches, and networking events that made me feel included. You really felt that delaware isn’t just about projects, it’s about people. This experience showed me what a long-term career could look like, and that’s something I truly value.

Simon – Cloud Operations

My internship project was all about automating inbound provisioning - creating users in Microsoft environments - which was completely new to me. I started with research, then built and documented the solution, taking full ownership of the process. This is one of the main reasons that I joined the #peopleofdelaware afterwards.

What do you need to know?

Some frequently asked questions about internships at delaware:

Do I have the right profile to do an internship at delaware?

There’s a diverse range of people doing internships at delaware, ranging from developers to commercial engineers and everything in between. The only thing we expect from you is to believe in IT solutions, be eager to learn and to be okay with working on your project autonomously, even if a whole team is working next to you.

What are the conditions to apply?

We consider all applications but prefer internships that last at least 4 weeks. As you would get an innovation project to work on, it would be hard to get started and integrate in the company in a shorter period of time. That’s also why we prefer to have you on board full time (or at least three days a week).

In terms of languages: English is a must-have, but French or Dutch communication skills are also required to better integrate in our offices.

Good to know: you do not need a driver’s license to do an internship at delaware.

How do I know if you have the right internship project for me?

You will be applying for an internship in general, before choosing a specific project. We'll have a first phone call to discuss your interests, so you can tell us what you expect from your internship regarding the topic, language, timing, location, etc. Then we will try to find the perfect project for you to work on and a mentor who will guide you along the way. As our consultants are moving around a lot to meet with customers, work from home, go to the different delaware offices,… we want to make sure you get an internship project that you work on autonomously. You can do your own project from A to Z with different colleagues to help you solve any questions you may have.

When is the best time to apply for an internship?

Whenever you’re ready! Our internship offer is always online and we'll always consider your application. However, there are some key moments to take into account if you want to have more project opportunities.

• For internships starting between February and June, students usually apply between September and November.
• For internships starting from September, we receive most applications over the summer months.
• Keep in mind: The sooner the better, as we need some time to build a project for you.

What does the application process look like?

After you’ve sent us your application, you will first be contacted by one of our recruiters to set up a call. During the call, you can tell us more about your internship expectations and constraints. We will then explore the best internship option for you together.

Once we’ve found a team that matches your interests, we’ll organize a (virtual) interview with the counsellor or manager for you to align on the project and practicalities. If both parties are convinced, you can provide us with your internship contract, and we'll sign it together!

Is er een moment waarop ik de andere stagiairs kan leren kennen?

Dat is er zeker. We organiseren een ‘intern onboarding day’ voor alle stagiairs die hun stage beginnen in het tweede semester. Ongeveer halverwege je stage nodigen we je uit voor een lunch met andere stagiairs en collega’s, om bij te praten. Aan het einde van je stage (meestal in juni) organiseren we een ‘internship fair’, een beurs waarop alle stagiairs kunnen tonen waar ze de afgelopen maanden aan gewerkt hebben. Je kan vrienden, familie, of iemand van school uitnodigen om te komen kijken. In 2019 was er achteraf zelfs een pizzafeestje!

Does delaware offer paid internships?

Unfortunately, we currently don't offer paid internships since we want to reward everyone equally for their work. We do offer all our interns a transportation compensation as from September 2022 to cover your costs for fuel, public transport...
