Optional subject part of the whole framework of coaching support offered throughout the grade to facilitate the design of the student's career objective. Work Placement II must be passed to request enrollment.
The practical training pursues the student to know the organization, operation and management of companies in the tourism sector, covering the guest attendance, the organization and promotion of tourist products or services, etc. If needed, the EUTDH will offer a wide range of partner companies that will collaborate to achieve these learning goals. To this extend we highlight the Workshop-Trobada Empreses-Escola that takes place in February each year, amongst the activities and events the student must complete and attend in order to pass the subject.
With a vision to promote our students to develop their management skills, as we do the previous academic course (Practiques Externes/Workplacement II), we also encourage them to act as consultants and develop an intrapreneurship project in any of the organizations where they performed their internship. In case of willing to further develop as consultants in the field, we foster internal synergies with other subjects so that the student has the appropriate resources within the academic program to develop his/her project management skills (i.e: Bachelor's Degree Final Project, Business Start-Up and Innovation, Management of Operations, Quality and Environment, Hotel Management, etc.).
The course will be taught using three different teaching methodologies:
a) Learning by doing – practical training at a professional environment, duly monitored and tutored by an expert on the professional field.
b) Self-assessment and self-analysis tasks encouraged and supported by the University tutor/s (in case of synergies with other subjects) during the development period of the internship or consulting / intrapreneurship project.
c) Autonomous or group work after being in contact with industry professionals to better understand the business operations and the professional profiles that better match each role and type of company.
Additionally, the student will have to be adapted to the culture of the organization, its internal regulation and values while considering the tutor instructions and the EUTDH main rules.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
