Critical Red Flags
Unpaid w/ Full-Time Hours: Legally dubious and often exploitative. Check for 'educational credit' legitimacy.
Post-Internship Non-Compete: Preventing an intern from joining any competitor in the same field for years.
IP Handover (No Stipend): Demanding all IP rights while not paying any stipend or giving credit.
Vague Duration: 'Until completion of project'—this can lead to months of unpaid labor.
Must-Have Clauses
Stipend & Payment Date: Exact monthly amount and when it will be credited to the intern's account.
Defined Learning Outcomes: A list of tools/skills the company promises to train the intern on.
Termination with 24h Notice: High flexibility for both parties as it is an educational engagement.
Completion Certificate: Guaranteed issuance of a 'Letter of Recommendation' upon successful completion.
