Yes !

I am not sure I understand the question. They are looking for
internship of six months. Most of the time they ask one or several
teachers for advice. Otherwise, they look in the internship list of
the previous year.

ENST aka Telecom Paris is the first french Grande Ecole (some kind of
university for first class engineers) in Telecommunications.

|   - within what type of industry are internships found/offered?

Any computer science field (*not only* in telecommunication domain).

Yes
