They should add the rider “Only people with rich parents need apply”.
A week at the BSA for travel and food is one thing, but 12 weeks is something else.
I see they suggest using the state to pay for the work.
“If you graduated in 2009 and have been claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance for six months or more, you may be able to claim a training allowance while doing an unpaid or expenses-only internship.”
This has come up here before, but I make no apology for resurrecting this topic.
Search the archive for more on this iniquitous practice.
Why can't everyone emulate the BBSRC?
