2.2 Internship Agreement Introduction
2.2.2 The definition of the path

The virtual internship in the company, is a period of professional training that provides high-level opportunity to gain experience in the workplace and business. Through internships in the company, the intern gains professional skills by tackling practical training that the study programs, normally focused on theoretical concepts, do not offer. In addition, the internship in the company is very useful for interns to check their skills in the field and define if it is the scope of work suited to their needs.

According to the legislation, also if we talk about the virtual internship, the company must be promoted by a third party, precisely the promoter, which is a point of reference for both the company and for the intern, also carrying out a monitoring activity on the conformity of the process. In order to operate in the activation of internships, the promoter must be accredited to the Ministry of Labor, and / or have a regional accreditation or authorization to activate internships in the region of reference of the company.

As for extracurricular internships, the promoter can be a Job Agency accredited by the Ministry of Labor, which operates at regional or national level.

For curricular internships, however, the promoter is usually a school institution, a university or a training institution accredited by the Region of reference. Here are the specific tasks of the promoter body:

It stipulates an agreement with the company, checking that it contains the legal data of the company and promoter, as well as the regulatory aspects that regulate the contract.

He draws up a training project that shows the objectives and modalities of the internship, as well as the personal details of the intern and information on his / her path.

The start of each new stage presupposes the existence of an agreement between the promoter, the company and the trainee through the preparation of a document called the Single Internship Agreement (for internships abroad Internship Agreement), signed agreement by the Legal Representatives of the University and of the Company / Institution and by the trainee, containing the rights and duties of the parties and of which the individual training project is an integral part. This document is valid for the duration of the single stage.

The Single Internship Agreement (for internships abroad Internship Agreement) is an essential document for the start of each stage and must be signed before the beginning of the experience.
