- The internship shall be performed Monday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a limit of seven hours per day. Where its operations necessitate, the Office may also schedule interns to work on Saturdays or
Sundays; compensatory leave may then be taken on weekdays with Office approval.

V. Internship Content Arrangement, Supervision, and Evaluation

Upon completion of the internship, the Office shall conduct an evaluation. Evaluation items and the method for conducting the evaluation shall be in line with the Office’s Internship Evaluation Form (Appendix II) or the internship regulations of the school
the intern is attending. The Office shall issue an internship hours certificate to individuals who pass the evaluation and may forward the evaluation results to the intern’s school for its reference.

- Concerning insurance during the internship period:
- Individual applicants are to be responsible for obtaining all necessary insurance coverage needed during the internship period.
- For interns recommended by schools, insurance shall be handled by the school. Where a school does not provide insurance, the intern shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary insurance coverage during the
internship period.

Where an intern is absent without reason or shows unsuitable behavior and fails to make improvements following warnings by his/her supervisors, the Office reserves the right to terminate the internship. For interns recommended by schools, the Office may also
notify the intern’s school or department. |
