Interns Over 40 for Healthcare

When former United States President Bill Clinton admitted to having an “improper relationship” with Monica Lewinsky, I learned more than I needed to know about the appropriate duties of an intern. Around the same time, Canada had its own intern scandal: internships at Canadian companies, government agencies and nonprofits were scarce, and the idea of apprentice labor (unpaid or low-paid and stipend-based) was considered unusual corporate practice.

Low-paid or unpaid internships for current University students and new grads are a launch pad to a paid, full-time position in a chosen career.
