Document background
The Practicum Agreement is essential for formalizing practical training arrangements in Germany, whether as part of mandatory educational requirements or voluntary professional development. This document is used when a student or trainee undertakes a period of practical training within a company, requiring clear documentation of the arrangement's terms under German law. The agreement ensures compliance with relevant legislation including the Berufsbildungsgesetz (BBiG), Mindestlohngesetz (MiLoG), and other applicable labor and education laws. It covers crucial aspects such as duration, responsibilities, supervision, compensation, and learning objectives, while protecting both the hosting organization and the intern's interests. The Practicum Agreement is particularly important as it helps distinguish the training relationship from regular employment and ensures educational goals are properly documented and achieved.
