The University of Castilla-La Mancha has launched a program that links final degree and master's projects with specific needs of companies in the region. The initiative aims for students to apply their knowledge to real problems, improving their employability and generating practical solutions for the local productive fabric.
Technical development: prototypes and software applied to real cases 💻
The projects range from web platforms for logistics management to IoT systems for energy efficiency in SMEs. Students work with agile methodologies and tools such as Python, React, or Arduino. Each final degree project is tailored to a specific challenge, with functional deliverables that companies can test. The program includes joint mentoring between faculty and technical staff from the companies.
Happy companies, students with CVs, and professors with less paperwork 😅
Business owners are delighted to receive free work under the name of a university project. Students are happy to have something to put on LinkedIn that isn't their delivery schedule. And professors are relieved not to have to read another analysis of a hypothetical case of a company that doesn't exist. Everyone wins, even though the intern now knows what an 8 a.m. meeting is like.
