This research aims to better understand the uses of a Facebook social network group by students as part of their internship. Data collection and analysis were based on qualitative and quantitative methodology through semistructured interviews and survey. The results show that the Facebook group is a new social space that allows trainees to break the isolation by consolidating interpersonal relationships. Indeed, the group allows them to have information on training, to keep in touch with their colleagues, to have support and to share experiences in the field.
