Abstract

This paper aims at verifying the contributions of the non-mandatory internship to academic education and professional training for the students at Univates. In order to do this, we attempted to understand the profile of interns, courses and companies granting internships, the relationship established among theory, practice and labor market, as well as to analyze the need for Univates to adopt new practices regarding non-mandatory internships for its students. Literature review approached themes such as the evolution of internship in Brazil, aspects of Law 11.788/08, which regulates the non-mandatory internship, and concepts of internship. Regarding methodology, this is an exploratory study, carried out through bibliographic research and survey. Outcomes indicate that the non-mandatory internship contributes positively to the academic education and professional training of the students; however, a certain dissatisfaction with Univates supervision has been revealed, which may be considered an aspect to be improved by the institution.
