First phase

students can work on real projects or theses in
application area with support of teachers from FI

students advance knowledge by attending technical
workshops, meetings with experts from business
and/or standard curricula lectures
 students have opportunity to meet specialists from
companies directly at FI and become familiar with
practical applications of theoretical approaches and
modern technologies used by companies
● participating in activities of the first phase may help
students to determine their own career vision
Second phase
 students go to pre-selected companies where they can
use their experience and knowledge gained from first
phase of the internship model, and
 their vision can guide them during the process of
setting strategy and goals for their internship → thus
they are able to plan and manage it
Two-phase model
Whilst company resources are
significantly limited, the effect of
internship (transfer of knowledge
and the overall contribution for all
parties) needs to be maximized
→ internship is not suitable to
draw up like “vacation job”
but better approach is to plan
and managed as a project
→ goals, time limitations,
resources has to be set →
student's vision is the key
factor
Best concept?
