Internship

The Internship can be attended in several professional contexts, so the basic knowledge will vary according to that circumstance.
In accordance with article 4 of the RE1ºCE, students enrolled in an internship will be provided with prior training in order to help with their attendance and the preparation of the respective report. Students who do not attend the preparation training will be prevented from attending the internship and submitting the corresponding Report.

The Internship is carried out in an organizational context for a minimum of 160 hours, supervised by a person from that organization (Supervisor) and guided by an ISCAC professor (Advisor). The supervisor teacher must hold tutorial meetings to monitor the development of the internship.

Remember that the Internship, which aims to integrate the student/intern in an entity (for profit or not, public or private) in order to provide contact with the working reality. For this reason, the Teaching Methodology must guarantee the following premises:

– the student’s contact with the reality of the academic training area (Marketing and International Business), therefore, a work plan must be presented by the student, in collaboration with the Supervisor of the Host Entity and the Guiding Professor of ISCAC with the activities to be carried out. This plan will guarantee the conformity between the expected congruence between the theoretical knowledge learned throughout the degree and its practical application, so this plan, as stated in the Internship Regulation, must be submitted to the Course Management upon delivery of the “Approval of the Internship”, the “Acceptance Term of the Host Entity and the Supervisor” and the “Internship Protocol”. The delivery of these documents must occur until the end of classes of the 1st semester of the academic year in which the student is enrolled in Internship (1st semester, for internship to be carried out in the 2nd semester);

– provide the student with the connection between theory and business and institutional practice in the work context;

– facilitate the insertion of the student in the job market;

– promote interaction with experienced professionals capable of valuing their personal knowledge;

– lead to the development of work routines by the student;

– allow the increase of their networking skills;

– help in the development of the student’s soft skills, with the objective of continuous improvement.

It is our conviction that students should take advantage of the internship to develop, in the best possible way, their skills in the area of ​​course training, communication, teamwork, flexibility, time management, responsibility, professionalism and even to improve the ability to listen to others. For this reason, according to the Internship Regulation, the host entity must be proposed by the student.

The Internship consists of a professionalizing approach whose main objective is to complement the student’s academic training, enabling interaction between theoretical knowledge and empirical knowledge derived from contact with professional life. Thus, through the Internship, the student is provided with on-the-job training that facilitates his/her future integration into the labor market, career progression or change of profession, providing him/her, whenever possible, with a minimum professional experience in a real employment situation. (art.º 2, Regulation of Internships of the 1st Cycle of Studies of ISCAC – RE1ºCE)
It is intended that the student reinforces his/her technical and scientific skills acquired during the academic training of the Degree in Marketing and International Business (LMNI), confronting what he/she learned in the classroom with the specific situations that the institution will encounter placement host. It also intends to develop other “soft skills”
At the end of the internship, the purpose of preparing the respective report is to highlight / describe the activities of a professional nature developed during the internship and to carry out a critical reflection of the functions and tasks performed in the light of a properly characterized theoretical framework. It also implies an adequate explanation of the articulation between the curricular training process and the application of the knowledge acquired in a given organization.

The Internship must be carried out in the area of ​​marketing and international business with a business organization, public or private institution, which has as its main objective to complement the academic training of the student, allowing the interaction between theoretical knowledge and empirical knowledge derived from contact with professional life. The internship also aims to provide students with on-the-job training that will facilitate their future integration into the labor market, providing them, whenever possible, with real professional employment experience”. Therefore, the activity plan to be presented must target core areas of the degree in marketing and international business to be carried out in person for a minimum of 160 hours.

“The Internship is mandatory for the admitted student, who must comply with the minimum number of classroom hours established in the study plan. (art.º 4º, nº 1, RE1ºCE), which must be confirmed at the end of the same through an attendance sheet signed by the student and the Supervisor. (art.º 4, nº 5 and article 6, nº 7, RE1ºCE)
