Internship Portal: Who Qualifies and What You Get
A guide for teachers mentoring student teachers on how to access resources and legal frameworks for hosting interns.
The Internship Portal is a digital resource designed to support teachers who take on the responsibility of mentoring student teachers. It serves as a central hub to help educators navigate the requirements of hosting students in a professional learning environment.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically designed for teachers who take on the role of mentoring student teachers. If you are an educator tasked with guiding a student through their practical training, this portal is intended to provide you with the necessary support and guidance to fulfill that role effectively.
What you get
By using this portal, you gain access to a variety of essential resources that assist in the mentoring process. This includes access to the specific legal frameworks that govern how interns should be hosted and managed. These tools are intended to ensure that both the mentor and the student are operating within the proper guidelines during the internship period.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary cost mentioned for using this resource, but there is a significant investment of time required. To successfully host an intern, you must commit your time to the active mentoring of the student and the ongoing evaluation of their performance and progress throughout their placement.
The catch to know
The most important thing to verify before you begin is the official status of your school. You must ensure that your educational institution is a recognized training institution, which is known locally as a leerbedrijf. If your school does not hold this specific recognition, you may not be able to use the portal or host students through this system.
How to apply
- Confirm that your school is officially recognized as a training institution (leerbedrijf).
- Access the official portal to review the available mentoring resources.
- Use the platform to understand the legal frameworks required for your specific placement.
