Abstract: Internship certificates help students demonstrate practical training and experience. However, certificates shared as PDFs or images can be copied, edited, or misused, and colleges or recruiters may find it difficult to confirm their authenticity through manual contact with the issuing organization. Intern Verify proposes a centralized digital process for submitting internship details and certificates, reviewing them through an authorized person, and checking approved records through a unique verification ID or QR code. Students can submit the organization name, internship dates, and supporting certificate. An authorized reviewer can approve, reject, or request corrections. After approval, a record can be registered so that a recruiter or institution can verify its status without relying only on the appearance of the document. The report describes the problem, related work, system requirements, proposed architecture, methodology, implementation plan, and functional testing approach. Since no completed prototype results were supplied, the report distinguishes proposed functions from measured results. Privacy, access control, accurate issuer review, and clear verification status are important considerations. The system aims to make internship verification more organized, transparent, and convenient for students, colleges, and recruiters.
