Abstract: Economics Faculties faced with changes, widespread and unprecedented as whole society under the circumstances of economical crisis, as well as due of globalization. These latter being two of the reasons of seeking solutions to respond to adverse conditions that is manifested in the world. Seeing into each student/graduate/a future employee we have to teach them that learning mechanisms are in fact, attractive and creative processes. Thus, teaching them to be innovatively and creatively, we can contribute to preparation them for active life, with the possibility of changing assumed roles in any period of their future career. In our opinion, the practical internships contribute to intrinsic motivation (the need or desire to do) in a community, organization, group thereby it manifested diverse abilities, skills that are contextually interconnected by ideas and experiences. Today's student is tomorrow's employee. She should discover and develop her passion for the chosen specialization. This is an essential step for her performance in the future. Our work, as educators aims to identify how the economics faculties can and should adapt their educational offer, to provide graduates able to become employees, forming competent people, of character, responsible, and last but not least, creatively, all these features, being the own portrait of an ideal employee, pretty desired and searched in the labour market. Some issues that this paper aims to examine and present are potentially most effective ways of learning, with practical results of the internship, to adapt to future labour and employee characteristics (creative employee). This undertaking is based on the results obtained within the framework of project “Practical training of economist’s students. Inter-regional partnership in the labour market between universities and the business environment” acronym (PRACTeam) that was focuses on student’s transition from school to labour market.
