Summary
This page describes the facilitation of internships and the process of applying for internship agreements within Fontys ICT.

Fontys ICT supports and facilitates the learning process of students from inside and outside Fontys ICT by offering internship and graduation posts (below: internship post). Within Fontys ICT various types of internship posts are offered, such as introductory internships, work experience internships, research internships and graduation internships.

If an Fontys ICT employee can offer an internship and wants to publish the internship vacancy within Fontys ICT, this is done via the system for internship and graduation assignments (ASAM). Make sure that the assignment states the correct allowance. If desired, the internship vacancy can also be published Fontys-wide and/or externally by sending an e-mail to HR-Fontys ICT.

After exploring the agreements with the student/trainee, the Fontys ICT employee (= internship supervisor) and the student/trainee make agreements in mutual consultation about the form, content and duration of the internship assignment.

Fontys has internship regulations from which we within Fontys ICT have determined with respect to the internship compensation that every trainee, who is doing an internship within Fontys ICT for longer than 1 month, irrespective of the type of internship, the level of education or the academic year the trainee is in, will receive the same internship compensation. The allowance amounts to € 500 gross per month on the basis of 1.0 fte.

In accordance with the Fontys internship regulations, there is an exception for the short internship (maximum 1 month) and the so called 'meeloop' internship¹⁾. For these internships, no internship contract will be concluded and the trainee will not receive internship compensation.

Only in case the trainee is not (or no longer) entitled to a student public transport annual card (OV-jaarkaart), commuting expenses will be reimbursed on a declaration basis, based on public transport 2nd class.

Payment is made monthly with the salary payment.

• Basic health insurance: a (foreign) trainee who is doing an internship in the Netherlands must take out regular basic health insurance.

In any case, include the trainee on this at the time of appointment!

If agreement has been reached on the duration, form and content of the internship, the Project leader/Team Manager/Research Group Manager in coordination with Operations Manager (UM) applies for a internship agreement from the HR department by sending an e-mail to fontysict-hr@fontys.nl. The following information will be added to this e-mail:

• Start and end date internship period (max. 1 semester);
• Information about education and academic year;
• A filled out form personal data for internship;
• downloadable form wage tax declaration;
• Scan of a valid identification document (not a driving licence).

The HR Fontys ICT department puts out the application for a VOG (certificate of good conduct) and as soon as it is received ensures that the internship agreement is drawn up. This VOG will be offered digitally for signing, first to the managing director, the company supervisor and then to the student.

Please note: if an Fontys ICT student starts an internship within Fontys ICT, the 3-party agreement from Canvas is NOT valid!

In addition to the internship agreement made by HR, agreement on the contents of the internship is also important. Agreements about this are recorded by the internship supervisor and the student-trainee in the internship assignment form. This is often a standard format offered by the trainee's study programme. The completed and signed form will be sent by the internship supervisor to HR Fontys ICT.

When a student drops out during the internship, the internship period and salary must be terminated. This is the responsibility of the internship supervisor. The supervisor must inform HR-Fontys ICT as soon as possible.
