Proposta de um modelo de operacionalização de estágio na UTFPR

Abstract

The internship is a way for students to expand their experiences, as they have the opportunity to apply the knowledge learned in the classroom in practice. It is also a mandatory activity in many undergraduate courses at Brazilian institutions, as well as a requirement for obtaining a diploma. The Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR), with 19 years of history and 13 campuses in Paraná, faces challenges due to the lack of standardization of internship procedures, making understanding and efficiency difficult for companies, students and employees, which creates confusion in hiring of interns from different campuses and contributes to the delay in starting students’ activities. Students, companies and teachers face difficulties in understanding and complying with the rules, resulting in problems in checking schedules, pending issues and internship evaluations. The general objective of this work is to develop a proposal for the processing of internship documents and procedures. The research topic was chosen, as educational institutions need an effective internship process, which meets the needs of all parties involved. Furthermore, management that seeks to reduce bureaucracy and develop activities in a clear way contributes to the efficiency of the process and the understanding of the procedures, bringing the University x Company relationship closer in an agile and simplified way. The result of the study presented a proposal to simplify the process and develop the product. New research can be carried out, applying and developing an integrated system and putting it into operation or preparing support and training manuals for PRAE’s, advisors and students.
