Real cases
Every year, IPAM Lisboa and Porto, in partnership with the Employability Office, promotes the Impact Programme,
The Impact Programme aims to help the development of companies’ marketing competences in partnership with the academic sector. It also intends to respond to companies’ real issues, in a clear marketing perspective, being clear that the project to be developed is a Marketing Plan. The assignments are developed by the students in a classroom environment.
This way, we invite companies to submit their applications that will be analysed and selected by project coordinators.

The traineeship protocol consists of a digital document, entered into by the three parties, and must be signed by all parties. The digital copy must be returned to the Educational Institution.

FAQs
Can I start a traineeship right after submitting the Traineeship Proposal?
The traineeship can only start after the traineeship proposal has been accepted.
- Curricular traineeships - The Proposal must always be validated by the Bachelor’s degree and/or Master’s degree Coordination.
- Extracurricular and professional traineeships - Validation is carried out by the Employability Office.
- Non-professional curricular and extracurricular traineeships - Only after the traineeship proposal has been accepted, it is covered by the insurance policy.
How long does it take to issue the Traineeship Protocol?
The proposal validation process and issuance of the Traineeship Protocol will be concluded within 22 days. After its issuance, the Protocol is sent by email (digital copy) to the host entity.
Is it possible to extend the traineeship final application deadline? What is the procedure?
Traineeships may extend beyond the stipulated date before the Traineeship Protocol.
For this purpose, after agreeing the final date with the host entity, the student can email their request to the Employability Office, for an Addendum to the Traineeship Protocol to be carried out, indicating the new final application deadline.
Like the Traineeship Protocol, the Addendum consists of a written document in three copies, one copy being given to each contracting party.
