The agreement will bridge the gap between university education and the business world through work placements, employment opportunities, training activities and academic projects linked to the company’s real-world challenges.
Altamira has signed a partnership agreement with the University of Alicante to strengthen the link between university education and the business community. The agreement aims to improve the employability of students and graduates, facilitate their entry into the labour market and give them an insight into the workings of a company in the construction sector.
The partnership covers initiatives relating to engineering, construction, technology and other related disciplines. This will enable participants to gain a better understanding of companies’ current needs and to develop skills relevant to their future careers.
An interim agreement between Altamira Constructora and the UA
The agreement establishes a stable framework for collaboration between Altamira and the University of Alicante. The planned initiatives include publicising career opportunities, taking part in job fairs and forums, conducting interviews on campus, and promoting first-job schemes.
For Altamira, this collaboration enables it to share the expertise of its professionals, explain the realities of the sector and raise the profile of the projects and roles that form part of the company’s activities.
University work placements and first-job opportunities
Altamira will offer work placement opportunities to students in their final years of university. The agreement will also make it easier to identify graduates whose profiles match the company’s recruitment requirements.
These initiatives will help students take their first steps into the world of work and enable Altamira to bring new knowledge, skills and perspectives to its teams.
Training linked to real-world projects
Professionals from Altamira will take part in talks, seminars and employability workshops organised by the University of Alicante. During these events, they will share their knowledge, experiences and a practical insight into the sector’s trends and needs.
The agreement also provides for collaboration in the design of final-year undergraduate and Master’s dissertations relating to real-world challenges faced by the company. This will enable students to apply their knowledge to projects with a direct link to the professional world.
Investing in the talent of the future
With this agreement, Altamira is making progress with its strategy to attract, develop and retain talent. The partnership with the University of Alicante strengthens the link between the university and the company and helps to create new career opportunities in the Alicante area.
