Orient on the cheap

Seeing as 67% of these internships translate into full time paid jobs, according to those in the know, it would seem there’s plenty of need.

Internships are not cheap Labour. Far from it. The low level of wages is the tip of the cost iceberg, training interns takes significant amounts of company resource. It’s an expensive process that benefits the intern who is getting first class training and gives the company the opportunity to assess the intern before offering them the opportunity to join as a full time employee.

Companies would be far more selective and carefull about taking on people who would in effect be even more expensive staff from the moment they join and would be quick to dump those other than the best very quickly. This won’t result in no interns, but fewer interns.

I have taken on a couple interns. Graduates. Low cost, low risk, who have ultimately joined the company as full time employees on decent salaries. Had I needed to pay top dollar from day 1 for a person who contributes very little to the team but consumes company resource in time and money I wouldn’t have bothered. I’d have paid a little more to attract an experienced person and saved myself the bother.

Isn't it your bed time? We've been all over this debate today. You lost all ends up in the first quarter. Deal with it.

Repeating it don’t make it true. Just tedious.

Get a grip man.

You make it sound like these companies are dishing out unpaid internships out of the goodness of their corporate hearts to do these kids a favour.
