Compliance & Safety Built In
We built InternPick around the regulatory frameworks that school districts operate within. Your administrators and parents can trust every aspect of the platform.
FERPA Compliant
Student data is never shared outside the school-business-student triad. Invite-only access via secure codes. No public browsing of student information.
Dept. of Labor Protected
School-sponsored practicums for academic credit are explicitly covered by the Department of Labor's Primary Beneficiary Test. No wages means no wage/hour liability for businesses.
AI-Moderated Content
Every program listing is reviewed by Google Gemini AI before publication. We flag unsafe language, compliance risks, and predatory patterns automatically.
256-bit SSL Encryption
All data transmitted between users and InternPick is encrypted using bank-grade TLS encryption. Student records are protected in transit and at rest.
COPPA Safe
InternPick serves minors (14-18), so age-appropriate safety standards are built into every layer โ from content moderation to data collection limits.
School Oversight
Educators control every step: which businesses can host students, which students are enrolled, and what learning objectives are required. Nothing happens without school approval.
