A group of approximately 20 students from the School of Business at Universidad del Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n recently visited the facilities of Genera Puerto Rico as part of the Business<\/em> Field<\/em> Experiences<\/em>, an initiative that connects students with immersive experiences in the professional field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These activities are part of an institutional effort to integrate theory with practice, allowing students to gain firsthand knowledge of how different industries operate. Business visits have become spaces for observation and analysis of the challenges and dynamics of the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the tour at Genera, students had the opportunity to explore the company\u2019s operations and interact with professionals in the sector, which provided a closer understanding of energy generation processes and the challenges facing the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Dennis Rom\u00e1n Roa, dean of the School of Business, explained that the Business<\/em> Field<\/em> Experiences<\/em> program emerged as an educational laboratory designed to complement academic training. \u201cStudents can see the real-world application of what they learn in the classroom and begin to identify their professional interests,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rom\u00e1n Roa highlighted that one of the main benefits of these visits is that they help students understand that career paths are not linear. Through contact with professionals, they come to recognize that career development can involve changes and multiple opportunities. In this context, he noted that these experiences help students envision themselves in different work scenarios and make informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genera PR\u2019s community relations manager, Jorge Brasero Nieves, emphasized the importance of this type of initiative in bringing university students closer to the workplace environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExposing students to the real world allows them to discover areas they were not aware of and clarify their professional goals,\u201d he stated. He also noted that these experiences foster curiosity and motivate participants to explore new possibilities within their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brasero Nieves also referred to the \u201cGenera Academy\u201d program as an example of an educational initiative that allows university students to participate in tours within the company. This program aims to offer learning opportunities to those who wish to be part of the island\u2019s energy transformation, while promoting continuing education and professional development among Genera PR staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through internship programs, hands-on experiences, and specialized training, participants gain direct experience alongside professionals in areas such as generation, engineering, operations, and project management. Likewise, the company is undergoing an energy transformation process that includes incorporating new technologies to strengthen the stability of the electrical system, so its connection with the academic sector is part of a long-term professional development strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the students\u2019 perspective, the experience represented an opportunity to strengthen both academic knowledge and personal skills. Yelielis Carrero Jim\u00e9nez, a student of Business Development and Management with a minor concentration in Prelegal, noted that the visit allowed her to better understand the energy generation process and the importance of teamwork within a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also highlighted that this type of initiative allows her to align her professional interests with her personal preferences and gain greater clarity about her future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Business<\/em> Field<\/em> Experiences<\/em> program has been in operation for approximately two and a half years and includes visits to companies from various sectors, expanding students\u2019 exposure to multiple industries. In line with the educational philosophy of \u201clearning by doing,\u201d the initiative has established itself as a key tool in providing an academic education aligned with the realities students face in the professional field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
