Abstract

The importance of internships in the contemporary world is made evident by the growing needs for self-improvement required by an increasingly competitive and adverse market. Internships' knowledge relationships promote critical thinking and practical activities. Internships are a way of training the student to experience what he or she has learned at the University. Therefore, this senior project aims to investigate with students who took the ¨Supervised Internship¨ discipline at the Executive Secretary course at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), class of 2012.2, to find out what contribution this class has on the professional development of Executive Secretary students. It discusses, as a theoretical foundation, the relevant legislation on curricular and non-curricular internships, curricular guidelines of the Executive Secretary Course, political pedagogical project, and the history of the creation of the Executive Secretary major at UFC. This project has as a foundation the internship and its relation to the development of professional skills. The research done was descriptive, referential, and documental. In the process of data collection a structured questionnaire was used as a tool for students of class 2012.2 who had taken the disciplined of ¨Supervised internship¨. The analysis and interpretation of the data were delivered through the use of Excel and tables to facilitate the understanding of the results. We conclude, therefore, that the supervised internship contributes to the relationship between theory and practice and development of skills relevant to the professional training of students of Executive Secretary major.
