And who says they aren't going to???? Or are just assuming its going to be an unpaid or cheap internship and not a paid one?

I did a free internship and was greatful for the valuable experience I got that was worth more in my job hunting than any of my qualifications plus I got a nice bonus for the job I did at the time.

It would be nice if everyone could afford to work unpaid

As I said, fine if you or your parents can afford for you to take unpaid work.

There's still no getting away from the fact that it is exploitative and I would hope our club would be above that

I never said I could and FYI I couldn't really so did other jobs on top to make it pay. Like the ad says its an opportunity and people will either take it or not. Like I said I looked at the bigger picture & what the benefits would be for me so i took the opportunity and have not looked back since. If it wasn't for the opportunity I was given I doubt I would now be running my own company.

I could have taken the easy option and taken a paid job for something I didn't really want to do as a career but I stuck it out and for me that chance

Correct.
If there's a job of work to be done, pay the suitable candidate a wage for doing it!

I would hope both or one of you have actually contacted the club and confirmed whether it is an unpaid or paid internship and the actual specifics of it before running down the club about providing an opportunity for someone.

Don't be daft.

Great opportunity for a student over the Summer. Students have changed since these two were that age, most nowadays budget their student finance over 52 weeks anyway, so would jump at the chance.

Think it's a good idea.

This could give someone the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, it seems that employers are not just looking for relevant qualifications but also experience in the work place. Paid or not it can offer better prospects for future employment, my daughter recently completed an unpaid internship and has now been offered full-time employment within the same company. Good idea by FC.

I don't own my own business but to an employer would an unpaid training program benefit his'her selection to other people??
(Even though i don't no if the program is unpaid/paid)

Reason i ask this is because 9/10 when you go for a job there's usually competition.

Who says its unpaid ? We pay our interns. Paid or unpaid its sounds like a good opportunity to get in introduction into a tough job market.

No one is being forced to take the job.
