Internships are an important part of the program and they work internally with other colleagues and with external people to carry out a training process of real coaching.
Finally, each participant completes his or her own individual development plan and transfer of learning. All this process has continuity in time, through the incorporation to the professional networks in coaching that gives support and future development.
