Still don't know the FORTE Program?
The fundamental objective of the FORTE is to allow students who are close to finishing their degree or master's degree, and who ideally only need to complete the TFG or TFM (TFE - Final Study Project), to immerse themselves in the development of some real project that is being carried out within a company and carry out the TFE within it. In this way, the student will have the opportunity to carry out internships together, within the company, and the development of their TFE. Each student will be tutored by a professor from the ESI and an Engineer from the company, who will have the most practical vision of the TFE. For his part, the ESI professor will be able to undertake both practical tasks, although always respecting the vision of the company but ensuring compliance with the objectives from the academic point of view, as well as more formal and academic tasks, verifying that the existing regulations and quality standards.
Therefore, students are given the opportunity to start in the business world before the end of the degree. Unlike company internships, the student is integrated into a real project and assumes greater responsibility from the beginning since it will be necessary to achieve the FORTE objectives, broader objectives than those that are intended to be achieved in company internships.
After the completion of the FORTE and the consequent defense of the TFE, the company can consider hiring the student, although this is the case in most cases, it is never binding and therefore does not oblige the company or the student to do anything. Therefore, FORTEs are a very useful tool for obtaining a more specialized professional profile that increases the chances of not only being hired, but also having a better [first] contract.
