The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the research<br />
findings regarding the causes of sickness over the year-end holiday<br />
period experienced by entrepreneurs. The author documents causes<br />
and symptoms in this regard as well as the application specific technology<br />
designed to report on and offer sustained relief from allostatic<br />
load symptoms for entrepreneurs. The author refers to protocols that<br />
have been previously published detailing which techniques along with<br />
the technology have shown to be appropriate and/or most effective to<br />
reinstitute neuro-physiological homeostasis.<br />

ABSTRACT<br />
Internship at university is a system of on-the-job training for a specific<br />
period of time. Student internships provide opportunities for<br />
students to gain work experience in their field, determine if they<br />
have an interest in a particular career, or gain credits. Since 2009<br />
Wismar University has been offering a degree <strong>programme</strong> which<br />
combines academic studies and work experience called "Students<br />
in Companies".<br />
This highly innovative educational project allows holders of secondary<br />
school diplomas to start a mixed career, studying at Wismar<br />
University and work in a company. The goal of the model is to prepare<br />
young students to be highly qualified, so that they can meet the<br />
actual needs of the current labour market, considering the observed<br />
lack of entrepreneurial competences among the graduates in the<br />
market.<br />
Within this model Wismar University wants to create a synergy between<br />
university and company by permitting a group of students to<br />
be employed as “working students” by local companies while at the<br />
same time achieving a degree at the university. Unlike already existing<br />
<strong>programme</strong>s student will be able to simultaneously work in a real<br />
business environment with gaining practical work experience.<br />
This paper describes the background and the approach of this<br />
model and shows first results.
