Internship Letter Generator

An internship is a time-limited placement in which a student or early-career person works, learns and builds experience. Because the arrangement sits between study and employment, expectations are often fuzzy: is the intern paid, what exactly will they do, will there be a job at the end? A short offer letter answers those questions before the first day. This tool drafts one, with the dates and stipend handled for you.

What you enter

The organisation, its address, the signer and their title, and the date start the letter. Add the intern’s name and, optionally, their college. Describe the placement: role, supervisor, start and end dates, hours per week and location or mode, such as office, remote or hybrid. A box lists the tasks, one per line. Then choose the stipend: paid, with a currency and a monthly amount, or unpaid. Two switches add a certificate on completion and a confidentiality clause.

How the clauses work

The period clause is calculated from the dates. It counts every day from the first to the last, inclusive, divides by seven and rounds up, so 1 December 2026 to 26 February 2027 is 88 days and reads “about 13 weeks”. The hours clause gives the hours a week, the mode of working and the supervisor. The work clause lists the tasks. The stipend clause either states the monthly amount, paid monthly and subject to any tax the law requires, or says the internship is unpaid and offered for learning, and that the intern is not an employee.

A status clause is always included: an internship is a fixed learning period, it does not guarantee a job offer, and either side may end it earlier with reasonable written notice. The conduct clause asks the intern to follow policies on conduct, attendance and the safe use of systems. Confidentiality and the certificate clause follow when switched on, and a signature block lets the intern accept.

A worked example

The first sample is a paid summer internship at Northwind Software Pvt Ltd for Aarav Shah of the College of Engineering, Pune, as a Data Analyst Intern. It runs from 1 December 2026 to 26 February 2027, about 13 weeks, for 40 hours a week at the Pune office under Meera Iyer, with a stipend of ₹20,000 a month. The tasks are cleaning and analysing customer usage data, building weekly dashboards and presenting findings to the product team. The certificate and confidentiality clauses are on, and the letter runs to about 270 words. Switch the stipend to unpaid to see how clause 4 changes and the stipend lines disappear.

Setting the placement up well

Pick tasks that a newcomer can complete in the time, and agree one project they can show afterwards. Match hours to the intern’s study schedule. Decide who trains them, and when you will review progress. State what the certificate will say, usually the role and dates, so that the intern knows what to expect. If you may offer a job later, say that it depends on performance and vacancies, not that it is promised.

Pay and the law

Rules about paying interns differ by country. Some require a minimum wage unless the intern is a student earning academic credit, and some restrict how long an unpaid internship may last. Colleges may also have their own forms. The tool states the terms you give it but does not check them against any rules.

Limits

This is a general letter, not legal advice. It does not replace a tripartite agreement that some universities require, and it does not set out insurance, visas or health and safety arrangements.
