doing meaningful work!

9. Unpaid Internship Summary
Many argue that the 6 legal criteria require
updating as they are based on a Supreme
Court decision from 1947, at a time when many
internships/apprenticeships were for blue collar
production workers. However as of now, these
criteria present a situation very difficult to
comply with and “For-Profit” companies should
be especially cognizant of regulations with some
unpaid internship lawsuits in recent years
