碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 藝術行政與管理研究所 === 96 === “Internship” is that trainees accept the professional practices and manipulations, which are related to his/her study in correlative institutions during a short period of time. Its aim is via the resources of business to let interns in the way of “Learning by Doing” develop and learn the skills, train their judgment and reaction, so they can build their confidence and independence in the work. For students, internship is an extraordinary chance for learning, but in the most of time, it loses its real meaning and essence of “Education”, and the interns become free-workers or low-paid labors which be exploited by institutions and even the government, especially in cultural business. Take the internship programs of Cultural Administration and Management Disciplines in Taiwan as an example, the schools only make the rules of the goals of internship, the interns’ responsibilities and duties, and evaluation, but they do not take ensure for the basic rights of interns. However, from applying until doing the internship in Germany, I deeply understood that the Bundesagentur für Arbeit (German Federal Employment Agency), Die Zentrale Auslands- und Fachvermittlung asks internship providers make specifically principles in order to protect intern’s basic rights and duties. Interns and internship providers have to make contracts that appoint the duration of internship, duties, emolument and so on as an attestation. The internship programs of Cultural Administration and Management disciplines in Germany not only have constraint on interns’ rights and responsibilities, but also requests the internship provides to comply with. On the other hand, everyone who is concerned in the affair begins to cogitate how to modify the enactment and policy, so that interns would not be in a different form – become free-workers or low-paid labors. In order to ensure every intern’s rights and the internship qualities, they even advocate “faires Praktikum” (fair Internship) and the system of evaluating the internship providers. Therefore, this study aims to find out the “opportunities” from the “problems” by adopting the references, in-depth interviews, researcher’s in-person participation and observation, as well as four cases from Germany and Taiwan. The results of the study will be contributed to the relative agencies in Germany and Taiwan as a reference for improving the cultural administration and management disciplines and the programming of the internship so as to effectively integrate the relative resources and rules.
