Beware of scams
The Ministry has also reminded the public to be wary of various fraudulent schemes carried out in the name of the National Internship Programme. Participants are asked to ensure that any information received comes from official Ministry and MagangHub channels.
The following are some characteristics of internship offers that should be treated with caution:
Inviting people to register for the National Internship Programme merely to record attendance without any learning activities.
Offering internships at companies without the need to be present or take part in learning processes.
Claiming to be part of the National Internship Programme, but with participants receiving no assignments or mentor support.
Claiming to be an internship programme, but lacking a clear and structured explanation of the activities involved.
In addition, the Ministry emphasised that there are consequences for parties committing fraud in the implementation of the programme, such as the use of fictitious participant data, attendance manipulation, collusion to produce false reports, and the use of invalid documents.
