These internships are formative activities generally carried out by students about to graduate. They are tasks and activities that complement formal education for a certain period in a real work environment.
This work activity, complementary to professional training, requires close participation and supervision by all parties involved. These parties include the educational institution, the company or work environment where the training activity takes place, and the student in training. They are not considered formal employment relationships. Hence, they are not paid, although this does not constitute an impediment to being considered by companies and future employment opportunities.
The advantages are significant when adding this international experience to the well-known CV and academic studies since it can become a significant boost to employment prospects in the short and medium term and is highly valued by employers.
