The professional performance of university students in pre-professional internships.

Abstract

Higher education in the world is driven by the social demands of contributing to economic activity, the sustained increase of production and services in the countries in which they reside. For this, it is necessary to promote the training of professionals with high performance levels. However, only the training process ensures such a demand, since it is necessary to have a space that allows the dialectic relationship between theory and practice. In this context, it is the pre-professional practices that allow university students to integrate knowledge and skills to solve professional problems and improve their work performance. The objective of this article is to reflect on how the university fulfills its social task of providing competent professionals through the development of pre-professional practices.
