Although the acquired skills depend on the post and the nature of the company where the student does the training period, it is expected that they develop the following ones:- To develop the behaviour of the basic professional role: attendance, punctuality, to respect the rules and customs of the company or institution, fulfillment of the set tasks, etc.– To develop and to put into practice transverse skills typical of the professional activity: teamwork, communication, adaptation to new situations, analysis and solving of problems, etc,- To develop and put into practice the knowledge acquired in the master: identification of problems and important variables to solve them; establishment of priorities in meeting the objectives; writing reports, etc.
Each year there are training periods in companies that enter into a collaboration agreement with the university. The students do the training in a company under the supervision of a professional tutor and so they come into contact with the professional activity. As for the training activities to carry out, they will be specified in a programme depending on the features, objectives and function of each workplace. The students will have the opportunity to carry out different activities typical of their workplaces, but always under the supervision of the professional tutor responsable for them. During the training period, the students will periodically be in touch with the academic tutor who monitors the tasks that the students perform. Thus he/she assesses if the training period contributes to the acquisition of skills or not, and at the same time the tutor guides together with the professional tutor the students in their development.Lastly, the students have to present a report that is aimed to reflect, systematize and recount about all the activities they carried out during the training period.
The assessment takes into account the following:(1) Report of the professional tutor in which it is assessed the fulfillment of the basic professional role, the attitude towards the tasks, development of abilities and transverse skills, use of the knowledge and skills acquired during the master and which are related to the workplace, cooperation spirit, etc.(2) Report of the academic tutor based on the information he/she got by means of the contact with the student and the professional tutor during the training period. (3) Report of the student about the training at the end of the period. This report has to include the following aspects: description of the workplace and of the activities the student performed; the acquired or developed skills; a self-assessment of the experience, etc.
The subject is of 13.5 credits and each credit is equivalent to 25 hours (337.5)Final report of the student: 7.5 hoursSo, the duration of the training period will be 330 hours and has to be carried out in the second term
In order to make the best of the learning process during the training period it is convenient to be periodically in touch with the academic and professional tutor and to inform immidiately about any problem or doubt.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
The USC establishes 3 possible scenarios for the 2020-2021 academic year: scenario 1 (adapted normality), scenario 2 (distancing) and scenario 3 (closure of the facilities).
The development of the training period will be done in person in scenario 1, with the adaptations that need to be made in scenario 2 and scenario 3 based on the indications of the competent administration and the USC.
