National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE)

We recommend that your intern program be based on these four over arching premises:

To provide meaningful work experience for the student and give the student structured learning experiences where they apply knowledge gained in the classroom;
To guide students' educational development through mentoring;
To strengthen school relationships;
To treat interns as valuable members of your organization.

Department of Labor Standards for Internships

Federal Guidelines for Determining Whether a Student Should Be Paid

Students are considered employees and their work covered by the Fair Labor Standards Acts if:

They provide essential services to the employer; or
They are working in a position where someone is normally paid; or
There is a history of paying someone to do the same or similar work; or
Other people are currently paid for the same or similar work.

Students are considered interns or trainees if all six of the following criteria apply:

The experience is similar to that which would be given in a vocational program;
The experience is primarily for the benefit of the student (this is accomplished if the internship is part of a school curriculum);
The student does not displace other employees and works under close supervision;
The organization derives no immediate advantage from the student's activities and on occasion may be impeded;
The student is not entitled to a job with the organization at the completion of the internship or training; and
The student and organization understand that the student is not entitled to wages or any other form of compensation for the training.

The two most important of these factors are that the trainee does not displace regular employees and that the employer derives no immediate advantage from the trainee's activities. Similarly, courts determining who is a trainee focus on who is the primary beneficiary of the arrangement. If it is the employer, the individual is an employee, not a trainee.

Academic institutions and sponsoring organizations are cautioned, however, that the trend at the Department of Labor is to subject internship arrangements to increasingly close scrutiny.

The Department of Labor (DOL) has stepped up investigations of organizations using unpaid interns, and has begun to fine organizations who use students interns to do the work of regular employees without paying them in accordance with Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requirements.*

Internship Partnership Procedures

Before the internship:

Step 1:

Employer will place an Internship Request with PVCC or call 602-787-7073. PVCC will advertise the opportunity to our students.

OR

A PVCC student may contact an employer to initiate an internship.

Step 2:

To ensure the safety of our students at an Internship Site, employers must complete one of the following:

Employer is required to hire the intern. Intern is required to complete all employer paperwork that is standard procedure for regular, permanent employees of that company. (If the internship is unpaid, the documents related to compensation are not necessary.) Employer must provide a letter to PVCC on company letterhead acknowledging that they have hired the student for an internship. Please include student’s name, beginning and end date of internship, and an internship job title.
Employer will complete the Experiential Education Partnership Agreement (EEPA) form and the Certificate of Insurance form.

EEPA Form for Paid Internships

Certificate of Insurance

Step 3:

The Internship Coordinator will contact you by phone to verify the internship and to complete a short Safety Assessment form.

During the internship: Student must complete a Worksite Information form with Employer input. This provides PVCC the logistics and learning objectives of the internship.

Employer and student will determine work schedule. If the student is earning college credit, then the student is required to complete a pre-determined amount of total hours dependent upon how many credits they are taking of the CWE course. (1 credit=45 hours, 2 credits=90 hours, 3 credits =135 hours). If the student is not earning college credit, then the work schedule is determined by the employer and the student.

Employer will sign timecards to document intern’s completed hours. Student will provide the timecard for the employer’s signature and is responsible for submitting the signed timecard to PVCC.

Employer will complete two evaluations of student’s progress. Student is responsible for providing the evaluation form to the employer and submitting the completed form to PVCC.
