Abstract

The article identifies the profile of paid internships developed in the last two and a half years by the students of the Industrial Engineering course of the Faculty of Technology of the Federal University of Amazonas. To this end, consulting the records of the Department of Student Assistance (DAEST) of UFAM, responsible for the trainees' contracts, revealed the existence of 107 students who signed contracts to perform internship during this period. Besides, a questionnaire with 3-section and 15-questions (Appendix 1) was applied to students via email, classroom, event, and virtual groups to collect internship information.
