It is never too early to start planning your future. Continental offers you the opportunity to get to know a world's leading technology corporation from the inside at an early stage while you are still involved in your studies. No matter whether in the form of an internship or while you are working on your final project: Take advantage of this opportunity to take a look behind the scenes and experience the practical side of our operation.

From the very beginning, you will be involved in our daily business. You will take on a wide variety of tasks in various different Group departments and will solve exciting challenges as a member of a project team. Because, studying is great. But putting your knowledge into action is even better.

The Global Engineering Internship Program (GEIP) offers a unique kind of internship. Outstanding students from selected international partner universities belonging to the Global Engineering Excellence (GEE) network have the opportunity to apply for an international internship at Continental.

With this project, Continental is putting the recommendations of the GEE study into action. With the GEIP, the internationally-oriented education of engineers is to be intensified. The GEIP comprises an international internship at Continental, a joint workshop with the students and representatives of universities and companies, as well as an academic program.

"With this program, we have taken the first step in implementing the theoretical insights we gained together with eight renowned universities in the practical operations of a global corporation. And we are convinced that this program is a highly attractive and impressive addition to Continental's existing training components," said Heinz-Gerhard Wente, member of the Executive Board.

GEIP is a cooperative venture between Continental AG and RWTH Aachen, Germany; Georgia Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA; Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China; Escola Politécnica São Paulo, Brazil; Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Mexico; and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland.
