The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Internship and Training serves as a foundational document for establishing structured internship programs in the Philippines. This document is essential when educational institutions seek to partner with organizations to provide practical training opportunities for their students. The MOU complies with Philippine regulations, including the UniFAST Act and CHED guidelines, and is designed to protect all parties' interests while ensuring educational objectives are met. It typically includes provisions for program structure, supervision, assessment, workplace safety, and liability protection, making it suitable for both short-term internships and longer-term training arrangements. The document's flexibility allows it to be adapted for various industries while maintaining compliance with Philippine labor and education laws.
