What are the implications for the host company? |
-
Internships entail an educational cooperation agreement signed by the intern, the host company and the UdG.
-
Since the relationship is academic, the host company and the student don't enter into a contractual relationship during the internship.
-
The host company / institution and the UdG jointly establish the training project of the student.
-
The intern's training is tutored by an academic tutor and overseen by a supervisor appointed by the host company.
-
If the student is under 28, he/she is covered by the school insurance. If he/she is over 28, he/she will have to contract an accident insurance offered by the UdG.
-
If the internship is paid, the salary qualifies as personnel costs. If the host company pays the intern, it will also have to pay the employer's contribution to the Social Security.
-
The educational cooperation agreement may be cancelled at any time in case of breach of the agreement by any of the parties.
