Document background
The Unpaid Internship Offer Letter is a crucial document used in the Netherlands when offering internship positions that are primarily educational in nature. It is specifically designed to comply with Dutch labor laws, which require unpaid internships to have a clear educational purpose and be connected to a formal educational program. This document is typically used when engaging students for internships that form part of their educational curriculum, ensuring proper documentation of the arrangement between the company, intern, and educational institution. The letter must carefully balance the formal requirements of Dutch law with a welcoming tone, while clearly outlining the educational objectives, supervision arrangements, and working conditions. It's essential to use this document to establish clear expectations and protect both the company and the intern, particularly given the scrutiny that unpaid internships receive under Dutch employment regulations.
