Impacto das experiências em empresas juniores na carreira de engenheiros de energia: um estudo das habilidades de inovação e gestão empresarial

Abstract

Junior companies are non-profit organizations formed by university students. They aim to provide students with practical contact with their degree area and bring them closer to the job market. This study investigates the impact of junior enterprise experiences on energy engineering students, focusing on the development of innovation and business management skills. The research examines how involvement in junior enterprises contributes to the acquisition of practical and behavioral skills valued in the job market, facilitating students' transition into professional environments. The methodology included questionnaires directed at students and companies to understand employers' perceptions of candidates with junior enterprise experience. The results indicate that this practice promotes the development of skills that are valued by employers, strengthening both the employability and organizational integration of graduate engineers.
