At the UMH Occupational Observatory, our mission is to increase the employability of our students and alumni through tools such as internships, a job bank, training in professional skills and competencies, information on labor market dynamics, personalized guidance, and the promotion of entrepreneurship. Our functions include:

• Management of student internships , thanks to more than 7,000 collaboration agreements with companies and institutions. Over 7,000 internships were carried out through these agreements during the past academic year, receiving a 99% satisfaction rating from companies and a 98% satisfaction rating from students.
