Mitchell Eismont 10 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Howdy All, Forgive me if this topic has been covered. My question is how to do you tackle student internships? Specifically I would say unpaid internships. I am constantly getting contact for internships that are unpaid. Teaching at an HBCU my students don't have the luxury to take unpaid internships. The ones I reject right away, are the ones that have no educational value for the student. Example. A company once wanted a graphic design intern, but didn't have a graphic designer or art director on staff. Basically they just wanted a free graphic designer. Is this a problem in your area? How do you tackled this? Thanks, Mitch 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Lucid 13 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 We have a "no unpaid internships" policy. The company needs to put forward some sort of compensation, even if it is in-kind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mitchell Eismont 10 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Brian, That sounds about right. I need to make up a bulk e-mail to answer these folks to save time. Thanks for the feedback. -Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
