What does the concept of “internship” mean?
“Internship” means training a new employee in the rules and working conditions in practice, while it is understood that he has already acquired a baggage of theoretical knowledge.
The whole process takes place directly at the workplace; a responsible person (supervisor) is assigned to the trainee.
The supervisor is an employee of the same company with extensive experience. His responsibilities include monitoring the actions of the new employee, as well as consulting and testing acquired skills.
The duration of the internship is always determined individually and depends on the theoretical basis, qualifications, as well as the scope of skills that the intern must acquire.
During the entire period of training, a special diary must be kept in which the internship program, its goals, conditions and stages are recorded. Upon completion of the process, a specially created commission checks the acquired knowledge and skills, gives its conclusion and recommendations, on the basis of which the employee is (or is not) allowed to perform basic job duties.
Legislative regulation
Order on labor protection in an organization, sample
The Labor Code of the Russian Federation regulates the issues of internship in the workplace. Some provisions about this are present in GOST 12.0.004 of 2015. It was put into effect on the basis of an order from Rosstandart. There are some provisions on violations of occupational safety rules in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Regulation by law
Thus, an order for an internship with an internship certificate is a document necessary when hiring new employees, sending them to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge. It is documented at each production site and is valid until the end of the internship.
In what cases is an internship necessary?
Completing an internship is not always a prerequisite for employment or appointment to a particular position.
However, in some situations it is necessary:
- when a person first gets a job (especially for various types of industries);
- when transferred to another position within the company if the working conditions there are considered dangerous or harmful;
- when transferred to other structural units of the organization;
- upon promotion.
It should be noted that an internship should not be confused with instruction, which provides only theoretical knowledge, or a probationary period, during which the employee already performs his official duties in practice.
Moreover, any internship must be formalized in accordance with current labor legislation and be subject to mandatory payment.
Principles of internship
It is expected that during the internship, young specialists should try out in practice the skills acquired during their studies in educational institutions. At the same time, the young specialist gets the opportunity to prove himself to the employer.
Completing an internship is not always the basis for continuing a working relationship with an employer. For many trainees, the desired result is a good reference and an entry in the work book necessary for employment in another organization.
On what basis is an internship order issued?
All orders issued at enterprises must be based on something and justified by something.
The basis is usually a reference to some article of the law, a normative act, an internal document of the organization (an official or memo, a regulation on an internship, etc.). In this case, this is an internal memo from the head of a structural unit.
Justification is understood as the actual reason for creating a document, for example, production necessity, training in practical skills, as well as testing the knowledge and skills of a newly hired employee, etc.
Other terms of the agreement
By concluding an employment contract with a trainee, the employer assumes the responsibility to:
- provide the trainee with a workplace and work in accordance with the position stipulated by the contract;
- pay all mandatory insurance payments in favor of the trainee;
- pay wages on time at the intervals stipulated by the collective agreement.
From the moment the contract is signed by the intern and the employer, the intern is included in the staff of the enterprise (organization) with all the ensuing rights and responsibilities.
To record the fact of labor relations, the head of the enterprise issues a corresponding order and regulations on the conditions of the internship, which includes a list of the responsibilities of the young specialist.
The trainee must be familiarized with the order and the Regulations, which is recorded in the text of the order itself, and the trainee’s signature on familiarization is taken.
Features of order formation, general information
There is currently no single unified form of order. This means that employees of enterprises and organizations are free to compose it in any form or according to a model developed within the company. In this case, the procedure for writing the order must be indicated in the company’s accounting policy, and the standard form, if available, must be properly approved.
When forming an order, it is necessary to take into account several general points that are characteristic of all administrative acts of this kind. In particular, you need to ensure that the structure and content of the form meet certain standards. The order should be conditionally divided into three parts:
- "hat"
- main block,
- conclusion.
The main section, in turn, should be divided into several paragraphs.
The order may have attachments, information about which must also be included in it.
The document can be typed on a computer or written by hand - in determining its legitimacy, this parameter does not matter, as well as whether it is drawn up on the organization’s letterhead or on an ordinary blank sheet of any suitable format (generally applicable A4).
The order must be signed by the director (since it is issued on his behalf), the employee responsible for execution, as well as all employees mentioned in it. The signatures of the latter will indicate that they are familiar with the order and have nothing against it.
At the same time, it is not necessary to put the company’s seal in the order (according to the law, legal entities have the right not to use stamped products in their work).
The order is written in one copy , and if necessary, certified copies are made. After the document has been drawn up and endorsed, information about it should be entered into the internal administrative documentation journal, which is usually kept by the secretary.
The storage period for an order is either prescribed in the organization’s local regulations or complies with legally established standards.
End of internship
A fixed-term employment contract with an intern terminates along with the duration of the internship.
If the trainee and the employer come to an agreement to continue the employment relationship, then an additional agreement will be attached to the fixed-term employment contract, by virtue of which the fixed-term employment contract will be considered indefinite, that is, concluded for an indefinite period.
Accordingly, changes must be made to all personnel documents of the trainee. In particular, the position is being replaced.
If the intern and the employer decide to terminate the employment relationship after the end of the internship, then the fixed-term employment contract will be terminated by virtue of Art. 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation with making a corresponding entry in the work book.
Sample order for internship of a newly hired employee
First of all, the document says:
- its name;
- date of compilation (issue);
- locality in which the company is registered.
Then comes the main section, which contains:
- an indication of the need for an internship for a newly hired employee;
- internship period;
- personal information about the employee (his full name, position, as well as the date and number of the employment contract on the basis of which he was hired);
- person responsible for organizing the internship;
- information about what control measures the trainee must undergo;
- and finally - the employee responsible for executing the order.
Employee internship agreement - sample
An employment contract is concluded only in writing, indicating all mandatory conditions. These are, first of all, the details of the parties, rights and obligations, a clear period of validity (start and end dates of the internship), features and payment procedures, conditions for fulfilling job duties, place of work, etc. Signing a TD gives the specialist the right to officially join the organization’s staff, receive a salary and count on other social benefits. Upon completion of the internship at the company and based on the results of the event, the person is given recommendations. The final conclusions allow us to get an idea of the specialist’s professional suitability for further cooperation.
New driver training rules from January 1, 2021
Welding is the process of joining metals and plastics without the use of fasteners and fixtures. Welding allows you to reliably connect metal elements during repairs, manufacturing parts to replace damaged ones, as well as when creating various new products - from a grill for roasting meat to a sports car. Learning how to get a good, strong, clean seam using a welding machine will take some learning time. Don't think you can just pick up a torch and get a perfect seam the first time. The more time you spend hard training with a welding machine, the better results you will achieve. Having mastered the welding machine, you will wonder how you managed without it until now. If you are going to get serious about welding and gain the necessary practical skills, you should definitely consider studying at our Training Center.
The work of a welder is physically difficult and harmful to the eyes, so excellent health is a prerequisite for entering colleges. We especially note the requirement for the welder’s patience. He has to work for a long time in closed, dark, cramped rooms in the same, sometimes very uncomfortable position. A welder is a hard worker; he is characterized by perseverance, dexterity and flexibility in the movements of his arms, legs and whole body. Some types of welding, such as welding ceiling seams in confined spaces, require special skill.
Welder, as a profession, is divided into several specializations: manual arc welder, gas welder, operator of automatic welding machines. Workers in all these specialties are engaged in one thing - connecting metal structures, complex apparatus, parts, and assemblies using the method of metal fusion. The quality of the welds depends on the skill of the welders. Any mistakes or negligence in the work can lead to catastrophic consequences. A professional welder must know electrical engineering, metal melting technology, the properties of gases used for anti-oxidation, methods and principles of operation of the units and equipment used. Compliance with safety precautions and industrial sanitation is of great importance.
It is not enough for a modern welder to perform several, even complex, operations of the welding method he has mastered. He must understand the physical essence of the main processes occurring during welding, know the features of welding of various structural materials, as well as the meaning and technological capabilities of other, both traditional and new, promising welding methods. This implies the need for constant improvement, training, and increasing the professional skills of welding workers.
In the conditions of today's general shortage of working personnel, the profession of a welder is in special regard: welding work is required in almost any production, and there are very few young craftsmen. That's why welders' salaries are high. Welding work is used in many industries. Welders work on construction sites, creating structures and systems of various communications, in industry, where they apply their experience and skills in mechanical engineering, shipbuilding and in other areas, such as energy, oil refining, and agriculture. It is difficult to name a branch of the national economy where the labor of a welder would not be used.
How is the internship going?
Professional selection includes:
- confirmation of compliance of the documents submitted by the employee with Professional and qualification requirements;
- trial.
... 8. The test is carried out without traveling and with traveling on public roads.
For drivers of route vehicles, the test on public roads includes driving along a route without passengers and with passengers.9. The driver test is carried out on the vehicle(s) of the type and model, on the route(s) (if any) on which he/she will subsequently work independently.
The qualification requirements for the driver vary for different categories of vehicles. They are described in a separate regulatory document:
Qualification requirements for drivers
Who has the right to test drivers?
To conduct an internship, a mentor must be assigned who meets the following requirements:
10. Driver testing is carried out under the guidance of a driver-mentor. A driver-mentor is appointed from among the drivers, including those hired by the employer:
- have not committed any traffic accidents due to their own fault during the last year of work;
- having work experience (experience) on the relevant type of vehicle for at least three years (when tested on a passenger taxi or truck);
- having work experience (experience) on the relevant type of vehicles for at least five years (when tested on a bus, tram or trolleybus).
Requirements for a mentor:
- Over the past year, he was not at fault for any traffic accidents;
- He has the required work experience (according to his work book).
Why do you need an internship?
An internship is necessary to gain practical skills and certain knowledge under the guidance of an experienced mentor.
The event has nothing to do with probation, student practice or apprenticeship. During it, a new employee has the opportunity to improve his qualifications, acquire additional knowledge and skills that may be useful in future employment, as well as evaluate working conditions and make sure that the decision made to work in the chosen specialty is correct.
When conducting an internship, the employer evaluates the declared level of training of the employee, determines his abilities and potential. When communicating with an intern, the event manager has the opportunity to correlate the employee’s data with the range of tasks specified in the job description.
