Internship Agreement
An internship agreement is a written arrangement between an organization and an intern describing the training role, duration, compensation or credit, and workplace policies. Use this when a company brings on a student or career-switcher intern for a fixed program with defined learning goals. It documents that the role is educational and sets IP and confidentiality expectations.
