The University of Panama offers its students 5 options to obtain a Bachelor's degree, one of these being a professional internship that consists of a semester of work in a company or public institution. For our study, we sent a survey to students of the Bachelor's Degrees in Accounting and Accounting and Auditing of the Faculty of Business Administration and Accounting of the University of Panama, Central Campus, who took this graduation work option during the year 2023, with the objective of knowing their performance and experiences acquired during their professional practice. We conducted the study with a
qualitative and descriptive approach, obtaining as a result that most of the students improved in terms of their skills in analysis, writing and oral communication, programs such as Word, Excel, among others, as well as teamwork, cooperation and solving complex problems. In conclusion, the students consider that the Faculty of Business Administration and Accounting should promote this graduation option among its students because they consider that in this way students can apply the knowledge taught in the classroom and acquire new skills that are obtained by the experience obtained in the labor field.
