The Unpaid Internship Agreement is essential for organizations in Switzerland offering educational opportunities to students or recent graduates. This document is specifically designed to comply with Swiss labor laws and educational regulations while protecting both the intern's and the company's interests. It should be used when establishing an unpaid internship program that primarily focuses on educational and training purposes. The agreement includes detailed provisions about learning objectives, supervision, working conditions, and insurance requirements as mandated by Swiss law. It's particularly important to use this document to ensure the internship meets legal requirements regarding educational value and to clearly differentiate it from regular employment relationships. The agreement helps organizations maintain compliance while providing structured learning opportunities for interns.
