In the first episode of Pensamento Renovável, we talk about internships, the labour market and what it means to take the first professional steps in a technical sector linked to energy and sustainability.

What we discussed in this episode

Internships can be a real entry point into a career when they are treated as a learning experience and not merely as a curricular requirement. In this episode, João Salgado speaks with Dinis Morais and Catarina Costa about the transition between school, company life and field experience.

In this episode, we explored:

  • The importance of curricular internships for students
  • How the world of work and professional expectations are changing
  • What to consider before applying for a job or internship
  • The role of curiosity and responsibility at the beginning of a career
  • The difference between academic learning and learning on the ground
