Práctica empresarial como fenómeno laboral para la formación profesional

Abstract

The internship is a phenomena that can mark a significant change in a person’s professional life. It is therefore important for students to be given the opportunity to undertake an internship at the end of their university programme, so they can apply their acquired theoretical knowledge, gained through their time at university, to the workplace.

Internships should therefore be held in high regard. Although many students choose to take an internship during their time at university, as part of their degree programme, internships should be offered to all students so they are able to experience the labour market and professional life before they start their career paths. This work experience model allows interns to develop new skills in preparation for their professional future. To this end, this article will analyse the traditional internship model, as well as new experimental and futuristic models, as a way for students to prepare for the professional work environment.
