A influência do estágio para os discentes do curso de Ciências Contábeis da Universidade Federal da Paraíba: uma análise da experiência na satisfação profissional

Abstract

The internship has been an important tool in providing professional experience to college students. Developing this work experience brings unique results in the workplace by applying theoretical principles to real-world problems. Internship experience is developed when some factors are well exploited, such as a favorable work environment, good support from the internship supervisor, and teamwork. Thus, this research aims to verify the influence of the internship experience regarding the professional satisfaction of Accounting Sciences studentes at UFPB. To achieve the objective, a descriptive research with quantitative approach was used, as well as data survey through questionnaires applied with students from the 3rd to the 10th period. The results showed some tools considered important by the students, necessary to obtain a positive internship experience and the behavioral profile of the students in the practical life of the internships. Internships are, in general, satisfactory for most interns, mainly because they make them feel better prepared and more confident to enter the job market after their academic life.
