Organizations that offer unpaid internships have no particular reason to cut back on them this year

Actually they do. DD was told that many of the places could not justify the personnel to SUPERVISE these unpaid interns. They needed these folks to attend to the productivity of the companies. Companies were working on much leaner staffing and didn’t have “extra” folks to supervise unpaid interns.



That’s a good point. I shouldn’t have generalized so much from my daughter’s experience. The unpaid internships she applied to were at government agencies and nonprofit organizations, not for-profit companies. I see what you mean about the situation in the business world.
