While BIS is doing its best to help create internships, apparently with no
minimum-pay conditions enforced on recruiters, through its Graduate Talent
Pool (http://bit.ly/2vv996). Donal MacIntyre's Radio 5 Live programme had a
piece on this a couple of weeks ago (reported on BBC News
http://bit.ly/9myM92). There were claims of internship ads on that site
blatantly breaching minimum-wage legislation. The TUC has apparently had
some ads removed for this reason. The Welsh counterpart (Go Wales Work
Placements http://bit.ly/c2DSIM) 'guarantees a minimum £240 per week, for 10
weeks, for anyone who finds an internship through the site' according to the
BBC News story.
