Do n’t jump for paid internships

Author:China Renmin Socialary Media Time:2022.08.12

You can go to a large company to study with senior employees. You can also obtain an internship certificate with gold content at the end of the internship. Is such a good thing true?

Driven by employment anxiety, many college students are worried that they are "unemployed when they graduate" and have chosen in advance to enrich their resumes. However, many college students who have participated in the internship recently reported to the "Minsheng question" column that internship opportunities that had accumulated work experience were "clearly marked", and "internships pushed" on the e -commerce platform have also become a commodity.

Paid internship encounter refund dispute

Xiaoyu is a senior student at a university in Changsha. In June this year, she received a service call from an intermediary agency. The other party said that as long as you pay, you can get the channel for internal internships. Through consultation, Xiaoyu learned that as long as she paid 1200 yuan a month, there would be a "senior employee" of large enterprises as her "mentor" to help her get a dream of internship opportunities she dreamed of. After half a year of the internship period, you can get the internship certificate issued by the company.

In order to complete this internship, Xiao Yu also paid nearly 5,000 yuan of "intermediary fees". However, the situation is not that simple. In July this year, Xiao Yu took the introduction letter from the intermediary agency and came to a company in Zhuzhou to report, but was arranged to work in the printing room. Xiaoyu found that the internship he bought was "very water". The so -called "mentor" just allowed him to do some simple work such as industry surveys and sorting data online, and no results were seen.

I felt that paid internships were not reliable. Xiaoyu asked the intermediary to refund, but was rejected. The intermediary said that it could help Xiao Yu find the internship recruitment of the company's company, but a drag was for more than a month that he had not given Xiao Yu for accurate information.

Compared to Xiaoyu, Xiaojia spends more money. In July of this year, she complained to the industry and commerce department the front -line network technology service company in Changsha. Xiaojia is about to graduate. In order to learn more about job search information, she added WeChat from a customer service staff in front line. The customer service said that it can guarantee the offer of the consulting company in the T2 gradient and get a consulting company's legal internship experience. After Xiaoga paid more than 30,000 yuan, he connected another teacher, and was told that he could not get offer and internship. In the end, Xiaojia got a refund with the intervention of the industrial and commercial department.

Remove the gray industry chain

The so -called paid internship, that is, intermediary agencies or individuals provide internship opportunities for students through personal resources, connections, or other means, and students need to spend high prices to buy the internship opportunity. At present, there are two types of paid internships: "offline internship" and "online internship". Paid internships are not uncommon on some Internet social platforms, and can be selected freely on the spot and remote.

On social networking sites and e -commerce platforms, searching for "paid internship" and "internship agency" can easily find such institutions. The reporter randomly selected several shops with the top sales, and conducted internship consultations as students. During the inquiry process, the reporter noticed that the industries that could be "pushed" in various stores were very wide, including popular places such as Internet factories and securities companies. In addition, the actual price of the product is not within a hundred yuan marked on the page, but depends on the different industries and positions, and concentrated in the range of 5,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan.

After the customer service of most stores simply understands the needs of buyers' internships, they will ask the buyer to leave the product sales platform and add WeChat to talk about it on the grounds of "sending internship information". A store gives reasons such as "inconvenience to send information on the platform, and some companies will consider us infringement." When the reporter asked why he infringed, the merchant avoided it.

Industry insiders believe that the enthusiastic paid internships reflect the employment anxiety and the blindness of choosing the internship unit. From the perspective of in -depth, it is closely related to the insufficient internship opportunities provided by some colleges and universities, inadequate guidance in employment and entrepreneurship, and relevant departments to the inadequate supervision of intermediary agencies that provide internship business.

Paid internships are suspected of illegal law

In response to the phenomenon of some students 'positions to obtain a large company or well -known company interns' position, the person in charge of the recruitment of the Campus of Sunshine Pharmaceutical Group said that "this behavior is not encouraged." Because in this process, it is likely to encounter some fraud, which will eventually lead to money loss and psychological damage. The internship position obtained does not really represent you successfully obtaining the entry voucher to the workplace. The most fundamental thing should improve your ability in all aspects.

In response to the phenomenon of paid internships, Lawyer Li Xiaolong, Hunan Tianchu Law Firm, introduced that the Ministry of Education's "Opinions on Strengthening and Standardizing Internship Management of General Undergraduate College" stipulates that entrusting intermediaries or individuals to organize and manage students' internship work, universities and internships on their behalf, colleges and internships Enterprises shall not charge students in violation of regulations. Judging from the above regulations, the paid internship carried out by the intermediary agency is a prohibited behavior of administrative regulations. It shall be stopped and punished by the provincial education administrative department and the market supervision department.

In addition, according to the relevant provisions of the Labor Contract Law, employers must not require workers to provide guarantees or collect property to workers in other names. Li Xiaolong said that the law prohibits the employer from collecting recruitment fees from the workers in any name, and the enterprise shall have punishment measures for such actions of their internal personnel and shall bear corresponding responsibilities. If the job seekers find that they are deceived, they should report to the relevant departments to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, and the relevant regulatory authorities must also implement the in -laws in order to increase law enforcement inspections. Li Xiaolong reminded that job seekers should pay attention to the risk of whether the internship itself is true or not. If the position is false, the internship experience required by job seekers cannot guarantee the truth. Even if the position is true, if the unit is telled by HR or other employees, it is discovered by the unit, and there is a risk of dismissing the intern to dismiss the intern because of recruitment itself.

Be alert to paid internships to disseminate college graduates

Recently, the phenomenon of paid internships of large companies and well -known enterprises is nothing new.

It is said that graduates entering these companies and business internships are a win -win matter -graduates have obtained learning opportunities and accumulating experience, and the other party can also screen talents. However, some agencies and employees used the scarcity of internship positions to pay for paid internships. They just made the internship into a naked business, which not only increased the cost of graduates, but also involved fraud in the process.

Remember that the interviews found that the practice of large companies and large companies was undoubtedly opposed to paid internships, and they would not have to take the intern's wool. However, in what way the intern obtained the internship opportunity, whether employees are deceived in the name of recruiting intern and internal push, large companies and large companies should have more awareness and prevention. Strengthen the corresponding regulation and block management vulnerabilities in a timely manner.

In addition, the employment pressure of college graduates is now increasing, and relevant departments should pay more attention to preventing some institutions and individuals who use their graduates' internships and job search anxiety to make profits. We must be alert to the name of fraud in the name of internship and employment. Each job seeker should also be more cautious and unnamed for employment.
