Content
Using unpaid interns in the hospitality industry is widespread in the GTA. Some spend a semester changing pot pourri and scrubbing floors. While many interns gained meaningful experience, others found themselves doing menial tasks for nothing. Some people argue that unpaid internships give students and new graduates a chance to ‘get their foot in the door’, whole others argue that companies are just getting free labour which amounts to nothing more than abuse.
Q: Do unpaid internships do more good or more harm? To whom? Why/why not?
