Internship Agreement

This Internship Agreement is a contract used when hiring an intern. It can be used for diverse types of entities like companies, LLPs, partnerships, etc. in any kind of industry including Information Technology, manufacturing, marketing, hospitality, etc.

This Agreement sets out all the terms of the internship, including duties of the intern, stipend and benefits, work hours, confidentiality, intellectual property rights and various other key terms.

In many cases, once an employer chooses to hire a new intern, the parties want to get started without delay. Therefore, the employer may wish to provide the intern with a letter that briefly spells out some key terms. Employers may wish to use an Offer Letter for an Internship in these situations and then follow it up with this Internship Agreement.

In comparison to employment, internships are often unpaid or low-paid, and they may last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Internships are often seen as a way for people to gain experience and build their resumes, while employment is a more established and permanent position.
