Abstract

The external internship subject at the Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences of UNED allows students to gain work experience and essential skills, aligning with the European Higher Education Area and its focus on employability. The situated learning approach, based on immersion in communities of practice, enables students to learn from experts and contribute to business knowledge. The objectives of the course include developing an effective methodology that combines immersion in the professional context with activities proposed by the teachers. It aims to ensure that students not only understand the structure and operations of the organization but also comprehend its culture, values, and internal dynamics. Another objective is to equip students with the skills to create their curriculum vitae and present themselves effectively to potential employers. This skill is essential for standing out in the job search process.
