Internship / Stage · For employers

Hosting an intern: what you will be asked.

A school, a student and, for students coming from abroad, DIMAS will each ask something of the host. Knowing it before you advertise saves everyone time.

Sources read 17 October 2026. Rules and windows change: check the authority named.

  1. Decide who the placement is open to

    Local students, students coming from abroad, or both. Say so in the listing.

  2. Local vocational students

    Work placements are done at a learning company recognised by PEL. Colegio EPI asks host companies to register with its Stagebureau as an erkend leerbedrijf; companies that are not registered yet can apply by email and a coordinator will contact them. Expect to guide the student and to evaluate the learning with the school.

  3. Students coming from abroad

    The DIMAS checklist asks for an agreement between the foreign institution, you and the intern, stating the internship period and your supervisor's contact details. It also asks for a copy of a guarantor's or employer's identity document and a guarantee statement signed by the applicant and the guarantor. Ask DIMAS who may sign as guarantor in your case.

  4. What you decide yourself

    Whether you offer an allowance, help with housing or help with documents. State it plainly; a student should not discover it late. Do not imply an offer the school or DIMAS has not agreed.

  5. Write a listing a student can act on

    Use the Internship job type. Say who it is open to, the study level, the period and hours, what the student will learn, who will supervise, languages, any allowance and the deadline.

Employers can list one using the Internship job type. Until then, your school's own placement office is the best place to look.
