Abstract

This article addresses the experience of the Tutorial Education Program (PET) "Conexões de Saberes" at the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA) during 2017, focusing on the proposal for extracurricular internships. The activity aims to train students in the various areas of Agricultural Sciences, including Agronomy, Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics. Due to irregularities in the school calendar and the workload of the subjects, the implementation of internships was unfeasible. The article discusses the implications of this situation for student training, highlighting the need for improvements in academic management to enable practical experiences that complement theoretical training. The research was based on qualitative analyses, with the aim of reflecting on internship practices in higher education and their relevance in preparing more qualified professionals ready for the job market.
