Q: Why should students participate in off-campus internships?
A: Off-campus internships help students connect academic knowledge with practical experience and enhance employment competitiveness after graduation.
-
Q: Is an internship the same as a part-time job?
A: No. An internship is an official university course designed for practical learning, while a part-time job refers to employment in which students work for an employer under applicable labor regulations.
-
Q: Do internship students receive wages? Are scholarships considered wages?
A: It depends on the internship arrangement. If an internship organization provides wages, an employment relationship may exist and relevant labor laws may apply. If students only receive scholarships or educational subsidies, the relationship may be governed by university internship regulations rather than employment regulations.
-
Q: Can internship students participate in labor insurance?
A: Students with an employment relationship and wages may be eligible for labor insurance. Students participating only in educational internships without employment relationships are generally not covered by labor insurance.
-
Q: What should students do if internship organizations do not provide labor insurance?
A: To protect students’ safety during internships, universities are required to assist students in obtaining accident insurance before internships.
