The 45 students who have been granted with the Becalvià 2017 practical training scholarship have completed this apprenticeship, which has allowed 33 university students and 12 practical training students to do internships in collaborating entities and municipal services. These scholarships aim to facilitate the knowledge of the work methodology appropriate to the professional reality that the students will have to operate, and obtain a practical experience that facilitates the insertion in the job market and improves their future employability.
