The bill adopted on 3 March sets out the framework for internship conditions. It aims to end abuses by establishing rules and obligations for both parties, explained Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz. Consequently, the text specifies that internship agreements must be linked to university studies, vocational training, or training programmes offered by public employment services. It mandates the signing of an agreement detailing the duration and objectives of the placement, the intern’s duties, and the company’s commitments regarding mentorship and training.
