University internships are teaching and learning scenarios that integrate the substantive functions of the University, promoting the transfer of the knowledge acquired and the competencies and skills developed by students, which have the capacity to transform the context in which they are developed, meeting the needs of the organizations where they are carried out.
Universidad de La Sabana facilitates practical learning experiences through which students are brought closer to the reality of social, public and private organizations, while applying their knowledge and skills acquired throughout their academic program in a work context. These experiences take place through scenarios such as professional and social internships, micro-internships and other types of experiences in which the University and the partner organization join forces to accompany students in their training process at different stages of their careers.
