The Industrial Attachment Application Letter is a crucial document used in the Dutch educational and professional context when students seek practical training opportunities in industry settings. This document is typically required when students need to complete mandatory industrial experience as part of their educational program or seek voluntary industrial exposure. The letter must adhere to Dutch business communication standards and should reference relevant aspects of Dutch labor law, particularly regarding internships (stages) and educational placements. It serves as the first step in establishing a formal industrial attachment relationship between the student, their educational institution, and the host company. The document should include specific details about the student's academic program, desired learning outcomes, and proposed attachment duration, while also demonstrating knowledge of the company and relevant industry sector. Under Dutch regulations, this document often forms part of the broader documentation required for establishing a formal internship agreement (stageovereenkomst).
