The links between the university system and the social construction of the work require solving, on the one hand, some previous questions and making compatible different theoretical systems and, on the other hand, to demonstrate empirically how both systems work, which stress the institutional question and the professional system.

It is likely that the inadequacy that maintained the separation between the two for years fields of knowledge has to do with the interference of economic policy in the university autonomy and its independence to adapt to social demands. The compatibility of theoretical and practical schemes has, therefore, less in Argentina, uneven development.

First, changes in the structure production of the last decades and technological changes have meant modifications in the requirements of professional qualifications. Second, business and educational institutions themselves find themselves in a rearrangement process to adjust their role, posing new requirements, updating their study plans and developing new tools to facilitate the passage between training and employment. Finally, the recent pandemic situation modifies student and business expectations about pre-professional internships, internship projects and the experiences of young professionals generate new Tutorial and business strategies in the processes of insertion and entry into active life.
