Document background
The Internship Offer Letter is a crucial document used by organizations in the Philippines when formally extending internship opportunities to candidates. It serves as the initial formal agreement between the organization and the prospective intern, outlining the terms of the internship program while ensuring compliance with Philippine labor laws, including the Labor Code of the Philippines and relevant DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment) regulations. The document is particularly important as it establishes clear expectations, learning objectives, and working conditions upfront. It can be adapted for both academic internships (where it must align with CHED requirements and academic institution policies) and professional internships. The letter typically precedes any formal internship agreement and may be referenced in subsequent documentation. Organizations should ensure the letter aligns with their internal policies while maintaining compliance with local regulations regarding internships, working hours, and compensation standards.
