Internship Policies

The Career Development Office at IICM has developed these policies to ensure that students are afforded with the best internship experiences possible. It is important for employers to understand that any position posted as an internship must have a learning component and must not be considered a “business opportunity.” Business opportunities are defined as positions that are paid strictly on commission, require an initial investment or cash deposit, or require that inventory or product must be purchased for resale.

An internship position:

• Provides assistance to students if and when required

• Provides valid learning opportunities

• Is located in a commercial setting and not in a private residence or home office.

• Does not require students to make investments or initial cash deposits.

• Is not structured so that students have financial liability for the work of others.

• Is not paid strictly on commission; however in cases where commission is involved, there must be additional compensation and a structured learning component.

If an employer has a position to post that does not follow the policies outlined above, the position may be posted as a part-time or full-time job opportunity instead. Please contact us at info@iicm.in for further queries.
