Abstract: The issue that we deal with is theoretical knowledge acquired by the Spanish students, and the need to acquire more practical knowledge, because in Spain is much deeper in the first, and left a huge emptiness in the second. In a context of increasing globalization, information technology, and increasing importance in the activities related to Business Administration and Management, the companies should work with education agencies to give new students ability to adapt easily to a market work that is constantly changing. The labour practices are of great importance, as these they are often what determine if we are to get a job in a particular company or not. The new companies are looking for students with practical knowledge as a requirement previous to incorporate them to their workforces. For this reason the Spanish education must change radically if we want to have our students prepared for today's job market, in which we have to replace the theoretical knowledge by practical. For this reason we will attempt such as the main theme the manner in which businesses and universities should work together to give the new students an opportunity to acquire practical knowledge before entering the labour market.
