Curricular Internship

All the undergraduate courses at ISAL (Tourism, Business Management and Hotel Organisation and Management) offer a compulsory curricular internship in the last semester of the course, in a working environment at regional companies.

The curricular internship is a process of practical-pedagogical experience that brings students closer to the professional life of their field of study, helping them understand different theories that govern a particular professional practice.

Curricular Internships and the employability of ISAL’s undergraduate courses

The internships promoted in the context of ISAL’s undergraduate courses have been contributing to its students and the island’s employability.

This course unit gathers advantages for both sides. On the one hand, it provides the future graduate with the opportunity to put into practice what he/she has learnt at university. On the other hand, when the company receives interns, it has the great benefit of assessing with time the interns’ creativity, energy and capability to work, without making a labour commitment that removes flexibility.

Big companies are investing more and more in this recruitment method which gives them the possibility to assess their interns and time to introduce them to their corporate philosophy.
