Verification is what makes the record worth anything

Host organization verification

• Legal name, registration details, sector and website are checked before approval.
• Contact ownership is confirmed on a domain or verifiable business channel.
• A named supervisor with real responsibility, and a stated plan for supervising remotely, must be attached to every project.
• Verification can be suspended or revoked at any point if standards slip.

Remote delivery standards

• Every published project is 100% remote. Forsa does not publish on-site or hybrid roles, and hosts cannot require an intern to travel or relocate.
• A video kick-off call and a recurring check-in cadence are mandatory, so no intern works unsupervised in isolation.
• Hosts must state which tools are used and provide access; interns are never asked to buy software or equipment.
• Working hours are agreed in writing and respect the intern's own time zone and study commitments. Always-online expectations are not permitted.
• Any request to meet in person outside a scheduled, optional and clearly flagged event is a reportable breach.

Project quality review

• Scope, tasks, deliverables, hours, duration and a remote supervision model are all mandatory.
• Listings that are vague, purely observational, or effectively free labour are rejected.
• Compensation is labelled honestly. Unpaid work must be genuinely developmental.
• We reject requests that push an intern into unsupervised commercial delivery.

Anti-exploitation commitments

• Applying is always free. Forsa does not charge interns to apply, and no payment affects selection.
• No unpaid overtime, no unagreed scope creep, no substitution for a paid role.
• Agreed weekly hours are a ceiling, not a starting point.
• Interns may withdraw. Retaliation by a host is grounds for removal from the platform.

Intern data protection

• CVs and identity documents are stored in restricted storage and are not publicly readable.
• Host organizations see only what is relevant to selection and supervision.
• Institutional reporting is aggregate unless the intern explicitly consents otherwise.
• Consent is recorded with a timestamp and can be withdrawn.

Reporting, intervention and rematch

• Any intern or supervisor can raise a support case at any stage.
• We investigate, document the outcome, and act on the host or the placement as needed.
• Where a placement fails through no fault of the intern, we prioritise a rematch.
• Serious breaches result in suspension and removal of published projects.

Fair, explainable matching

• Matching is rule based and shown to the intern in plain language.
• Protected characteristics are never inputs to matching or ranking, and an intern's governorate is never used to exclude them.
• Paid packages never influence ranking or selection.
• Hosts always make their own selection decisions, with reasons recorded.

What we do not promise

Forsa provides structured work-based learning and employability support. Participation does not guarantee employment, income, investment, or acceptance by a host organization.

Safeguarding, labour, tax and data-protection documentation applicable to placements in Egypt is subject to [LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED] before commercial launch.
