Document background
The Internship Job Offer Letter is a crucial document used when extending formal internship opportunities to candidates in South Africa. It serves as the initial employment document that establishes the relationship between the employer and the intern, ensuring compliance with South African labor laws, including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and Skills Development Act. This document should be used when an organization has selected an intern and wishes to formally offer them a position, whether for a traditional internship, learnership, or student placement program. The letter includes essential information about the position, compensation, duration, working conditions, and learning objectives, while incorporating necessary legal provisions specific to the South African context. It's designed to protect both the employer's and intern's interests while promoting transparency in the employment relationship.
