This session aims at providing academic staff an overview of what it takes to implement inclusive, client-based, and transversal skills oriented internships in different contexts. It also aims at providing guidance on how to liaise with industry professionals (from companies, voluntary groups, NGOs, research group, etc.) to implement such initiatives.
Thanks!
