Document background
The Internship Contract Agreement is essential for organizations in England and Wales offering structured internship programs. It provides a formal framework for temporary work experience placements, whether paid or unpaid, and ensures compliance with UK employment law. This document is particularly important for managing expectations, protecting confidential information, and establishing clear boundaries in the intern-employer relationship. The agreement should be used whenever an organization takes on an intern, regardless of the duration or nature of the internship, and must reflect current legislative requirements including minimum wage regulations, working time directives, and health and safety obligations.
