The Universidad Católica de Murcia and the Caser Group have extended their collaboration agreement this week with the signing of a new agreement which includes internships for UCAM students in the area of health sciences in the Caser Residencial Santo Ángel (Murcia) and Alameda (Lorca) residences. 

This practical training, which complements the training received in the classroom and in the simulation facilities of its Murcia and Cartagena campuses, also allows Caser to nurture future professionals who can be incorporated into its workforce.  

The agreement was signed by María Dolores García, UCAM President; Arturo Úbeda, Regional Director of Caser Residencial Zona Sur and Director of the Santo Ángel residence, and Paz Campos, Director of Alameda (Lorca). In addition, Manuel Carlos Ruiz, Vice-Rector of Quality and Academic Planning; Paloma Echevarría, Dean of the Faculty of Nursing, and María Dolores Saravia, Coordinator of the Career Guidance and Information Service, were also present at the event on behalf of UCAM.

‘The internships help students understand the reality of this sector, and we also learn from the new developments with which they are trained,’ said Paz Campos. Meanwhile, the Regional Director of Caser Residencial Zona Sur, stressed that the idea ‘is also to be able to establish a collaboration framework that goes further, to be able to participate, with the internships and our agents, in the training in order to further develop both’. Manuel Carlos Ruiz went on to say that given the territorial characteristics of the company, ‘future agreements could be established in other parts of the country’.
