SUMMARY:

The present study addresses the complexity of academic internships in Brazil, particularly in the field of Administration, where the ideal model often diverges from everyday practice. Although Law No. 11.788/2008 defines internships as supervised educational activities that prepare students for the labor market and serve as a bridge between theory and practice, reality reveals a mismatch between the pedagogical purpose and its implementation, with internships that, while ostensibly formative, may reproduce precarious labor practices. The central issue lies precisely in this ambiguity: the internship is both a tool for education and professional integration, but it can also constitute a space of exploitation, with students subjected to excessive workloads, tasks unrelated to their field of study, and inadequate compensation. The expansion of higher education and the productive restructuring have intensified these contradictions, turning internships into a form of early entry into the labor market, often under precarious conditions. Despite the growing body of research on the subject, gaps remain, particularly regarding the implications for professional training and the labor market, highlighting the need for further investigation. The general objective of this dissertation is to analyze internships in the context of Administration education and the associated labor relations, unfolding into specific objectives such as characterizing internship practices among students in the field and identifying elements of precarization within these relationships. The research question guiding the study seeks to understand how internships, in the context of Administration, function simultaneously as spaces for learning and for precarization. The study proposes to characterize internship practices and identify precarious elements, suggesting an approach oriented toward the collection and analysis of data on these conditions. It is expected that this research will deepen the understanding of internships, unveiling their contradictions and contributing both to the academic literature and to the social debate on the need to safeguard their pedagogical function in the face of the logics of labor precarization in contemporary capitalism.
