Abstract:
The main objective of this research work is to present the proposal, design and implementation of a teaching-learning activity in the field of a university subject.
The subject in which this work is framed is a subject of the last course of the degree, so that the students are about to leave the labour market, and join a job. However, the degree has several professional opportunities, all related, but with a different scope. Therefore, it is interesting for students to know what these possible career opportunities consist of, from a practical and real point of view.

Through the proposed activity, an attempt is made to bring students closer to the business world, showing a work environment similar to one of those they might encounter in their future work, from among the various alternatives they could access. In this way, they can learn about a reality similar to the one they will find shortly after their studies.

In order to know the evaluation by the students of the proposed activity, a survey was passed to them after the completion of the same. The results of the survey show, without a doubt, a very positive evaluation of the activity.
