2. The skills or knowledge learned must be transferable to other employment
3. The experience has a defined beginning and end, and a job description with desired qualifications.
4. There are clearly defined learning objectives/goals related to the professional goals of the student’s academic
5. There is supervision by a professional with expertise and educational and/or professional background in the field of the
6. There is routine feedback by the experienced

7. There are resources, equipment, and facilities provided by the host employer that support learning objectives/goals.

Additionally, any for-profit organizations looking to offer an unpaid internship should review the Department of Labor internship guidelines set forth by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
