Buying internship certificates, whether true or false, is illegal.

  □ Our reporter Wang Ying

  "For the chapter of chemical plants and pharmaceutical factories that operate normally, the price is good to discuss." "There is no limit to the position of an educational institution, and you can sweep the floor inside." "Ask for a computer professional chapter, have a business license, and the third party is best in this city."

  … …

  These days, the reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" logged into a social networking platform and found that many college students frequently posted help posts, so Zhang asked if they could provide the official seal of a certain major or institution and offer the conditions for paid use.

  A reporter who is at a loss to find out that these college students want to find a unit or professional "seller" who can help them open internship certificates through the Internet, and use the official seal of the unit they provide to meet the rigid requirements of the school.

  With the arrival of summer vacation, college students approaching graduation have also entered the peak of internship. Recently, Tommy (pseudonym), who works as an administrator in a law firm in Beijing, met something that made her laugh and cry.

  Because of the need to expand business, Tommy put the law firm in the life service category of Meituan, hoping to attract more clients. A few days later, she received a reminder from the platform: "You have new customer inquiries, please check them in time." Thinking that she had come to a big customer, she quickly opened the App to read the message, and the result was instantly deflated.

  "Hello, I am a college student. The school requires us to practice in the summer vacation. I want to ask if our law firm can stamp my internship certificate?" Tommy was disappointed to see this news, but on second thought, the law firm just needed an intern, so he replied that if the interview passed, he could accept the other party to work as an intern in the law firm, and he could naturally open an internship certificate after the internship expired, but the other party refused this request.

  "I am a junior now, and I am preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. If I go to the internship, it will affect my review progress. Can you bend the rules and directly stamp my internship certificate?"

  Tommy, who was somewhat surprised, decisively told the other party that the management of the official seal of the law firm was very strict and it was not allowed to do so, and then he did not communicate with the other party.

  I thought this was just an example. She also shared this experience on social platforms. Unexpectedly, it caused many students to "resonate" and even asked for a seal directly under this post.

  "It’s really outrageous for law students to have a compulsory internship next semester. Now everyone is preparing for the law exam and postgraduate entrance examination. How can they have time to practice?" "The student who studied interior design said that it was very difficult to get an internship chapter, and there was no suitable internship unit at all." "Even if the money is in place, can’t you help this little favor?" … …

  A series of comments made Tommy feel "eyes wide open" and couldn’t help but sigh: "A bunch of college students can’t get an internship certificate, but I can’t recruit a real intern."

  Han Bo-nan, a lawyer of Beijing Tengyu Law Firm, said in an interview that before graduating from college, the school generally requires students to practice, and there are certain restrictions on the internship time. However, some students who have not practiced for various reasons have come up with a way to purchase internship certificates through the online platform. "This kind of behavior is not only for students but also for ‘ Seller ’ Generally speaking, they all violate the principle of good faith and are more likely to be suspected of committing crimes. " Han Bo-nan said that if a student buys an internship certificate, no matter whether the internship certificate is genuine or fake, for the student, his behavior not only violates the school rules and regulations, but also is suspected of violating the provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, and the student may be detained and fined for public security punishment.

  According to the provisions of Article 52 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, there are acts of forging, altering or buying or selling official documents, certificates, certification documents and seals of state organs, people’s organizations, enterprises, institutions or other organizations; Whoever buys, sells or uses forged or altered official documents, certificates or supporting documents of state organs, people’s organizations, enterprises, institutions or other organizations shall be detained for more than 10 days and less than 15 days, and may also be fined less than 1,000 yuan; If the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan.

  For the "seller", the act of using the real seal to issue the internship certificate violates the seal management system and is also suspected of violating the public security management punishment law. "If ‘ Seller ’ Selling internship certificates as the main business may also be suspected of illegal business operations. " Han Yinan said. He further analyzed that if the "seller" issued the internship certificate with a fake seal, it was suspected of forging, altering or buying and selling official documents, certificates and seals of state organs. According to Article 280 of the Criminal Law, whoever forges the seal of a company, enterprise, institution or people’s organization shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights, and shall also be fined.

  In view of how to prevent students from purchasing internship certificates, Han Bo-nan suggested that universities should actively connect with relevant enterprises and set up internship bases for students, which can not only improve students’ practical ability, but also ensure the authenticity of internships and avoid making internships a mere formality.

  "At the same time, if the country establishes a credit system, it can use the big data integration function. Once students and enterprises are found to have forged internships, they will be included in their credit system and publicized. It is expected that the above methods can avoid the occurrence of false internships and forged internship certificates for college students. " Han Yinan said.
