Methodology

  • These placements have a duration of 300 hours.  
  • The subject also includes 10 hours of classes


Selection

  • All the available offers of placements appear on the Moodle for External Placements, together with a description.
  • The company will phone the selected students for the interview stage.


Signing the agreement

Once the company has informed the student that they are accepted, the student should contact the Jobs Bank and Placements Unit (practiques.alumnes.fuab@uab.cat) to sign the agreement which specifies that this is a curricular placement.

The agreement is a document containing the rights and obligations of both parties (company, student and school) in relation to the placement period. It is essential that all parties sign the agreement in order to begin the placement.  

Once the director of the centre has signed the agreement, the student should take three copies, sign them and take them to be signed by the person responsible at the company. Of the three signed copies, the company will keep one, the student another and the third must be returned to the Jobs Bank and Placements Unit of the school.
