Document background
The Student Placement Agreement is essential for formalizing work-based learning arrangements in Austria, ensuring compliance with both educational requirements and employment regulations. This document is typically used when a student undertakes a placement or internship as part of their educational program, whether mandatory or voluntary. It addresses the Austrian legal requirements for student placements, including social insurance, accident insurance, and health & safety provisions. The agreement clearly defines the responsibilities of all parties involved, educational objectives, supervision arrangements, and practical aspects of the placement. It's particularly important in the Austrian context where student placements often form an integral part of educational programs and must comply with specific regulatory requirements under the Berufsausbildungsgesetz (Vocational Training Act) and related legislation.
