The University of Barcelona and the Abat Oliva CEU University have elaborated the Manual del tutor dʼempresa, a guide that will be used as theoretical basis for the online course that certifies placement tutors set up by both universities. Antoni Moreno, head of Feina UB, and Olga Lasaga and Javier Barraycoa, co-directors of the Employment Observatory of the Abat Oliva CEU University, are the authors of the guide.

Authors emphasize that professional skills are not enough to be a placement tutor; specific knowledge, competences and tools are needed. Manual del tutor dʼempresa collects the results obtained from a series of research studies that both universities have conducted since 2012. The guide and the online course highlight three main aspects: regulations governing working conditions, competences of a good placement tutor, and actions and procedures that the placement tutor has to carry out to do a great job.
