Mitchell Eismont 10 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Lucid 13 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mitchell Eismont 10 Posted February 21 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
