At the beginning of the academic year 2018, students of the Faculty of Engineering and Science of the Universidad de La Frontera got to know the opportunities the FICA-IAESTE program offers for students who want to spend their practical training period abroad.

In a workshop the students were able to get to know the implications and benefits of this initiative which is a collaboration between the Faculty of Engineering and Science (FICA) and the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE).

Germany, Colombia, Spain, Brazil, India and other countries are the destinations our students can travel to within this program. It is made for future professionals who are motivated to improve their academic training, to grow as a person and to visualize the options the labor market offers.

In that spirit, the IAESTE-Chile coordinator, Valentina Carrasco, shared information about the processes, requirements, financing and the application deadlines with them. Apart from that, Jorge Barra, a Civil Industrial Engineering student with specialization in Mechanics, was present to tell the students about his practical training experience in Panama.
