The students who have participated have been able to deal directly with the companies and have had the opportunity to show the potential, global skills, knowledge and values that they are acquiring in their training on campus. The activities and workshops have dealt with topics related to employability at a national and international level and the new characteristics of the profiles most in demand by the labor market, among others.
