Internship support in Fuerteventura has been especially intense for us in 2025 at MNX Online. As students from different training programmes joined the team, we wanted to reinforce the experience with something simple: making sure their time with us wasn’t only about tasks and deliverables, but also about practical tools they can use in their everyday professional life.
Complementary online training (during internship hours)
Alongside real project work, we selected a set of complementary online courses for part of the cohort — specifically students in Web Application Development and Marketing — chosen for their usefulness and hands-on approach. Some were open-access, while others could only be taken through a company account.
In any case, the key point was integrating them within their internship working day, so the learning genuinely supported what they were already building week by week, without adding extra workload.
The goal was to strengthen topics that are sometimes covered more broadly in the classroom but become very concrete in a company environment: tools, habits, and criteria that help students work with more confidence from day one.
Some of the topics included short modules (some with certification) related to:
- Tech ecosystems and communities (how to navigate the sector and understand its dynamics).
- AI applied to digital marketing (practical uses and a responsible approach).
- Content strategy and professional social media management.
- Email marketing (fundamentals, good practice, and use cases).
- UI development with Ionic (basics and components).
- UI development with Angular (structure, components, and good practice).
This is not about “loading” students with extra content: it’s about giving them a practical boost at the perfect moment to absorb it and connect it to what they are building in the company. And we know they made the most of it — especially in marketing, where several students finished with new certifications and more confidence to strengthen their CVs.
A routine visit turned into something more useful: a talk with José M. Pumeda
To wrap up this internship period — when students from CIFP Majada Marcial and the Fuerteventura School of Art overlapped — on Tuesday 20 May we welcomed José M. Pumeda to our offices at Fuerteventura Technology Park. He is an Employment Technician at the Subdirectorate for the Promotion of the Social Economy within the Canary Islands Employment Service (SCE).
The visit was originally planned as a standard outreach meeting, but at MNX Online we wanted to take the opportunity to organise a practical, first-hand session on how to make the jump into the labour market after completing the internships.
In a friendly, very clear tone, José shared a step-by-step guide on how to register as a jobseeker, handle the first administrative steps, and understand realistic options to get started on the right foot. He also covered employability plans, complementary training, and several hiring incentive programmes from the Government of the Canary Islands that can benefit both individuals and companies, such as Incentívate, Certifícate, and Retorno al Empleo.
The best part was the format: an open conversation, with no stiffness, and real questions and doubts. For some students, it was the first time they had thought seriously about “what do I do when I finish?” beyond sending CVs blindly — and someone explained calmly what the most agile path looks like to enter the job market. They left with concrete steps, practical recommendations, and — above all — more peace of mind.
We would like to thank José M. Pumeda not only for the information, but for the way he shared it: professional, direct, and human. That approach is not always the most common, and it absolutely makes a difference when you are speaking with young people who are about to face their first step into employment.
These small “extras” were not part of the strict internship plan, but at MNX Online we believe they add a lot to the experience. We also know students lived it with motivation — and more than one has already added new certifications to their CV with pride (and rightly so).
