The data used was collected through a quantitative survey, of the questionnaire type, developed by the author of the present work, from August to October 2023, and used a sample of students in the field of Energy Engineering spread across the five regions of Brazil. The results obtained proved the effectiveness of the internship as a development tool for the students involved. More than 60% of the target audience shared the conviction that the internship was not only beneficial, but truly fundamental for their effective insertion into the job market.
