Why should you participate?
At ADB, we invite students and graduates
who want to gain practical experience in IT,
work on real technology projects and
learn from our experts.
During an internship, you will see how world-class
technological solutions are created and take part in their
under the guidance of experienced people who build
them every day.
Which path is right for you?
There are two internship paths in 2026:
1. Compulsory student internship
This path starts with a mandatory one-month unpaid student internship. It is a time for onboarding,
learning, getting to know the team and tools, and carrying out first testing tasks. If the collaboration
proves successful, we will be happy to offer you the opportunity to continue as a paid intern for a further
two months, with the possibility of an extension afterwards.
2. Paid graduate internships
These internships are paid and are carried out on the basis of a graduate internship agreement. We require
availability for the full 3-month summer period and interest in continuing cooperation with ADB afterwards.
If the cooperation is successful, it may be possible to continue during the academic year.
The internship is scheduled for 160h per month (8h per day),
so you will be able to take a few days off each month for rest.
When and where?
Every year we prepare internship offers in our R&D centres in Zielona Gora, Katowice and Poznan.
Recruitment for the Summer Internship 2026 is open!
The candidates will be invited for tests and meetings with team leaders.
