Document background
The Internship Job Offer Letter is a crucial document in the Nigerian employment landscape, used to formalize the offering of internship positions to candidates. It serves as the primary document establishing the relationship between an organization and an intern, whether they are students, recent graduates, or NYSC participants. This document needs to comply with Nigerian Labour Law, including provisions of the Labour Act and, where applicable, NYSC regulations. It typically includes details about the internship duration, compensation, working conditions, learning objectives, and any specific requirements or benefits. The letter is particularly important in Nigeria's corporate environment where formal documentation is essential for both legal compliance and professional standards. It protects both the employer's and intern's interests by clearly defining expectations, responsibilities, and terms of the internship arrangement.
