- The Internship Subject in a CTeSP CoursePublication . Jacob, Frederico Lázaro; Alberto, António Silveira D. P.; Guimarães, PedroIn any higher education degree, the internship subject is designed to provide stu-dents the opportunity to work as a company labourer, but is not considered an em-ployee, however, he/she must respect the rules of his/her host institution, and to get more hands-on work experience. In engineering courses, an internship is an on-job training similar to an apprenticeship, more often taken up by students during one semester, usually the last of the course, to supplement their formal education and expose them to the professional world. Therefore, the relationship between educa-tional institutions and public or private companies is considered as strategic to be possible to train students with practical skills, but also with some theoretical knowledge. In addition, the internships are also a form of interaction that students can use to guide them through the transition to a career. The goal of this study is to present a new kind of higher education program in Portugal, the Higher Technical Professional Course (CTeSP), but also to explore the perception and challenges faced by students in undertaking an internship in one of these courses.
