What are the requirements to participate in an internship program?
In addition, Apprenticeship Participants as referred to must meet the following requirements:
- Minimum age of 17 (seventeen) years for job seekers
- Physically and mentally healthy; and
- Pass the selection.
Participants who are still 17 years old must obtain approval from their parents or guardians.
The time limit for undergoing the internship period is a maximum of 1 year from the signing of the participant to start the internship. If there is no signature/written agreement, then the participant is not an intern but rather a worker/laborer in the company.
The Apprenticeship Agreement must contain:
- Rights and obligations of Apprenticeship participants;
- Rights and obligations of the Apprenticeship Organizer;
- Apprenticeship Program;
- Apprenticeship period; and
- Amount of allowance.
Therefore, companies that provide places for internships/apprentices must follow the existing procedures. If they do not follow, then it is certain that the company has violated the law. That is a little explanation regarding the rights and obligations of interns. More details can be seen in Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and Regulation of the Minister of Manpower Number 6 of 2020.
