Comparing the vocational training relationship and internship relationship
To meet job requirements, enhance skills, and accumulate practical experience for workers, employers may organize vocational training for employees before the employment relationship begins. According to Article 61 of Labor Code 2019, vocational training for employment involves employers recruiting individuals to guide them in practical work and train them for specific job positions at the workplace. However, in practice, there are many cases where employers confuse the vocational training relationship with the internship relationship, despite the clear differences between these two types of relationships in terms of applicable subjects, duration, rights, and obligations.
In this article, the author will present some similarities and differences between these two relationships.
1. Similarities of vocational training relationship and internship relationship:
- Common purpose: Both types of relationships aim to help individuals access a real work environment, improve professional skills, and accumulate experience before officially joining the labor market.
- Defined duration: Both relationships have a specific term, typically short-term, and end once the training goals are achieved.
- Not formal employment: Participants in both types of relationships are not considered official employees of the enterprise.
- During the work process: Trainees and interns are not required to comply with the internal labor regulations but only need to adhere to the workplace rules.
