Estudo sobre o impacto do movimento empresa júnior na formação profissional do engenheiro ambiental sanitarista

Abstract

With the emergence of new technologies and new concerns about the environment, Environmental and Sanitary Engineering professionals need to be trained to stand out today. With the aim of providing business experience for undergraduate students, the Junior Enterprise Movement in Brazil today presents itself as the largest youth entrepreneurship movement in the world. To identify convergences and gaps between the demands of the Environmental and Sanitary Engineering market and the skills developed when participating in a junior company, this study was carried out through a qualitative analysis based on documents from the Junior Enterprise Movement, previous works that address this topic and also the experience of a graduate student as part of the movement. The result demonstrated the advantage of having a degree complemented by business experience, with an emphasis on the development of soft skills.
