Abstract

In order to add support for discussions related to supervised professional training, this article has the general objective of analyzing its developmental process in the Business Administration Course at a Higher Education Institution (hei), from the point of view of students who have already completed their supervised professional training. Thus, research was conducted that should be considered descriptive-explicative in terms of its objectives, as it involved using pattern techniques of data collection – in this case, a questionnaire sent by e-mail to the students of the Higher Education Institution in question. Data analysis was carried out using both the statistical treatment of the information gathered, and content analysis. The results showed that bureaucracy and tutoring were the main challenges at the hei, whilst a lack of supervision and difficulties in reconciling work and study were the other main challenges. The opportunities found comprised: obtaining global knowledge regarding the organization; and the incentive for developing creativity, innovation, and communication skills.
