Romania's Government wants to draft internship law

Romania’s Government wants to draft a law that will regulate internship programs and the relationship between interns and host organizations through a new type of contract. The executive will initiate consultations with public and private institutions, schools and NGOs, according to a memorandum approved yesterday. The memorandum aims to eliminate the confusion between internship and work, so that internships don’t turn into a masked form of employment. The internship market has seen a remarkable rise in Romania in the last five years. In 2013, the executive initiated the Romanian Government's Official Internship Program, which is at its fifth edition this year. editor@romania-insider.com
