CHARITY’S ASTOUNDING ARROGANCE STUNS GRADUATE FOG
In the last few months, Graduate Fog has seen some shocking displays of arrogance among those organisations which continue to expect young people to work for nothing, in the form of unpaid internships. But folks, this one takes the biscuit. The National Trust has advertised for an unpaid intern to be their ‘Internship Programme Coordinator’. In other words, this unpaid worker is there solely to help set up the organisation’s new internship programme, which will encourage more interns to come and work for them unpaid.I quote: “As an intern yourself, you’ll be able to advise colleagues on how best to recruit and support fellow interns.”
