The general objective of the project aims to facilitate the transition from the university to the labor market for at least 250 students registered in the higher education system (license and master’s degree), supporting the conclusion of sustainable partnerships with the private sector to facilitate the transition from education to a job (by establishing a functional system of internships with a potential employer) and also improving the quality of internships. The general objective of the project will be achieved through the integrated approach of the internships (theory, the practice applied at the headquarters of the practice partners, direct and immediate applicability of the skills) with the help of individualised career counseling. In the context where higher education institutions prepare the necessary workforce for the development and functioning of the country’s economy, through this project we aim to review the way of organising the services of guidance and professional counselling of students in the fields of textile engineering, food engineering and economics, in order to be able to respond effectively to their professional guidance needs. The general objective of the project is to increase the quality of internships, by building a stable relationship between the training objectives of the internship and the requirements of innovation and development of companies in the three most important areas for the development of the economy in the region, namely: Tourism and Services Trade Economics, Textile Engineering and Food Engineering. The project aims to improve the quality of internships by integrating an innovative methodology based on 2 principles: — from a subjective point of view (of the student), on the principle of career. At different points in the course of study where the University can guide the student and intervene on the “strengths” and “weaknesses” of the student, it takes into account the prospects of the profession and occupation. Through this project the University would like to experience a guidance methodology that takes into account not only the requirements of insertion into the labour market (professional and occupation), but also professional growth in accordance with the innovation strategies of companies and the sustainable development of the regional economy. From this perspective, the quality of the internships is linked to the student’s ability to understand the innovation strategies of companies and to be able, albeit in a small part, to operate the technology transfer that the company needs. This approach is also functional to the development of culture in terms of opening innovative start-ups and spin-offs by students (in collaboration with the research centers from the University) – in terms of context, on the principles of technological transfer, innovation and development.
