Internship Hiring or Renewal Process

At Rocket.Chat, we’re committed to empowering interns with a hands-on, meaningful experience that aligns with their academic path and personal growth.

Our internship process follows Brazil's Internship Law No. 11.788 (2008), ensuring compliance while fostering a dynamic learning environment.

Internship Guidelines

Workload: Interns can work 20 or 30 hours per week.

Academic Relevance: Activities must be related to the intern’s graduation course.

Duration: The maximum internship contract length is 2 years.

Supervision: A dedicated professional must oversee and guide the intern’s activities.

Note: The compensation package is standardized based on workload. For details on remuneration and benefits, contact the People Team.

Required Documents

Each university has its own documentation template that Rocket.Chat and the intern must complete and submit for approval. However, one essential document across all institutions is the Internship Commitment Term*. The internship is only formalized upon the university’s approval of this document.

*Commonly known in Brazil as the Termo de Compromisso de Estágio (TCE).

To guarantee the hiring efficiency, it's important to establish the responsibilities of 3 parties:

Intern
Manager
People Team
