Educating for life and work: an opportunity to strengthen professionalizing practices in Technical Education.
In this Seminar, the speaker will describe an initiative that arose as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, through which motivating virtual experiences were integrated for the students in the last year of the Technical Education system to be able to comply with the legal requirement of carrying out Professionalizing Practices in order to obtain their Diploma and acquire useful and necessary abilities for facilitating obtaining a first job. After two years of virtuality, in their third year, they will also integrate face-to-face experiences in collaboration with Directors, Professors and Companies that will receive the students in their workshops.
