Well-connected to my smart phone 😂😂😂

I enjoyed the video. Thanks!

Good topic!! Hi everyone. I think, the paid or unpaid of the internship is depend on the situations, in my case when I was working as internship for 3 months, the company needed who was developing in admin to improve two problems of them, really they did not have time to looking to improve and for that reason I had received some money for my job. After that it was a better experience i had ever had and got easier another job. Great points, you are explaining in this video like: create connections with people, get the first experience of work, and finally make easier to get into a career. Bye for now! Thank you!

Thanks for your comment and for sharing your experiences with us.

Good topic. There are also many internships where not only people are not payed but They have to pay for! I hope talking about the injustice and abuse in BBC as you do will make a change :)

Yeah, it's a tough situation for graduates (and others) these days. You need money to make money. It's a difficult situation.

In Indonesia, if you want to get a higher status or a job it can be easier to contact your established connections at the company. But in fact, there are lots of companies too that open doors to everyone by announcing it on the jobs seeker website.

Good topic!

Thanks

Good topic! Thanks, BBC My note while listening! Some companies offer university students or recent graduates internships as opportunities to experience a real working environment. However, interns have to work full-time without a contract or sometimes without being paid. These companies are being accused of using graduates as cheap or free labor. Although the counterargument is that internships are valuable experience before getting a real job. James Turner shared his opinion on a BBC program: What is the big issue of the unpaid internship? In many careers, it's often expected that people do internships in order to stand a chance of landing a job in that profession. However, from a point of view of social mobility, a substantial proportion of internships are unpaid which effectively rules out those who cannot afford to work for free. The poorer you are, the more difficult it can be to get a good job. Another problematic issue is that internships are open for those who have established connections in professions which also rules out young people who don't have well-connected families or friends who can open those doors for them.

Thank you, BBC. 💚

Intresting topic

Hi. I don't think so. To exclude, to eliminate is better in my opinion

like before watching as usual

Hi there, I think working in the Ancient Egypt was better, they would give you some food and a home. Thanks for the video !!

It's nicely

The more poor you are the more difficult it can be to get a good job. It's unfair. It's not social justice. Why the government doesn't do anything about it?

Hi, I think we all have to do internship before getting paid, because by this way the company can recognize who is the best for a job, and everyone will have an equal chance to improve their ability.

What is the perspective of the Union? What do they think about that?

Who is watching 👍

When i didn't have a job, i was invited to internships. But i refused. I wanted to get more money. It's difficult to work in insternships, because everything in my country aren't cheap to buy. Some companies should know that work of people must be respected and good payable. It's hard to work as an owner of company, but workers there also do a lot of work. Maybe they work more harder than anyone

Actually I belong from Pakistan. I am Civil engineer, In 2021 I have have completed B. E Civil Engineering. I apply so many companies for intership. Many Companies provide intership one year unpaid. Because I belong middle Class family. The whole family had focus my money. But they are illetrate because they don't know the Company rules, my parents told me so many times about job. If any one has owned company, they are in the Job. Please inform me!

Why Mr. Crab comes up to my mind

THANKYOU GREETINGS from México

Transcript Note: This is not a word for word transcript Sam Hello. This is 6 Minute English. I'm Sam. Rob And I'm Rob. Sam Before you got your first job, Rob, did you do any work experience? Rob I think I may have done a day or two at some companies, just shadowing, watching how they did things - but nothing much more than that. Sam Some companies offer students or recent graduates what they call internships. These are extended periods of work experience where someone can be working full-time without an actual contract and in many cases without even being paid. Rob Ah - yes. This is a bit of a problem, isn’t it? Some companies are being accused of using students and graduates as cheap or free labour. Sam Yes, although the counter argument is that internships are valuable experience for people who need it before they can get a ‘real’ job. Well, we’ll look at this topic a little more after this week’s quiz question. On the topic of business and companies, which is the oldest stock exchange in the world? Is it: A: Bombay B: New York C: Amsterdam What do you think, Rob? Rob Tricky, because I was expecting London on that list. I’m going to take a guess then at Amsterdam. Sam OK. Well, I will reveal the answer later in the programme. James Turner is the chief executive of an education charity. Recently he took part in a discussion on the BBC radio programme You and Yours, on the topic of internships. What does he think is a big issue with unpaid internships? James Turner, Chief Executive, The Sutton Trust In many careers we’re now seeing that it’s almost as an expectation that a young person does an internship before they stand a chance of getting that first full-time job in that profession. And the issue with that from a sort of social mobility point of view is that a substantial proportion of those internships are unpaid and that effectively rules out those who can’t afford to work for free. Sam So what is the problem with unpaid internships, Rob? Rob Well, if you can’t afford to work for free, it makes it very difficult to do an internship - particularly in expensive cities like London. This excludes, or rules out a lot of people from the benefits of an internship. Sam This is bad for social mobility, which is the ability of people to move to higher, better paid levels in society. So the poorer you are the more difficult it can be to get a good job, even if you have the ability. Rob Could you afford to work for free here in London, Sam? Sam No, I can barely afford to live in London as it is, so the idea of doing an unpaid internship would not appeal to me at all. Turner goes on to talk about other issues that are also problematic in internship programmes. James Turner, Chief Executive, The Sutton Trust Too often internships are open to those with established connections in the professions and again that rules out those young people who don’t have the well-connected families or friends who can open those doors for them. Sam So what are these other issues? Rob In many cases he says that internship opportunities are only available to those with established connections to the company or industry. This means they have some pre-existing link with the company, for example, through family or friends’ families. Sam Yes, it’s a lot easier if your family is well-connected, if it has a lot of contacts and links to a particular company or important people in that company. Rob These links make it easier to open doors to the opportunity. To open doors is an expression that means to get access to. Sam So it seems that to be able to do an unpaid internships you need to have a fair bit of money and to get an internship in the first place you may need to have a previous link to the company through a family connection, for example. Rob So the system would seem to be difficult for poorer families and make it more difficult for students without those resources or connections to get on the job ladder. Here’s James Turner again. James Turner, Chief Executive, The Sutton Trust Too often internships are open to those with established connections in the professions and again that rules out those young people who don’t have the well-connected families or friends who can open those doors for them. Sam Right, time now to answer this week’s question. Which is the oldest stock exchange in the world? Is it: A: Bombay B: New York C: Amsterdam Rob, what did you say? Rob I went for Amsterdam. Sam Well done, that’s correct. Congratulations to everyone who go that right, and extra bonus points if you know the date. Rob? Rob Haven’t a clue! 1750? Sam Actually it’s a lot earlier, 1602. Rob Wow, that’s much earlier than I thought. Sam Right, let’s have a look again at today’s vocabulary. We’ve been talking about internships which are periods of work at companies as a way for students or new graduates to get experience in a particular field. Rob If they are unpaid it can make social mobility very difficult. This is the movement from a lower social level to a higher one and it’s difficult as poorer candidates can’t afford to work for free. Sam Yes, the cost rules them out, it excludes them from the opportunity. Rob What helps is if you have established connections with a company. This refers to previous or pre-existing links with a company. Sam And also if your family is well-connected, if it has good connections, for example if your father plays golf with the CEO, it can open doors, or in other words, it can make it easier to get into the company. Rob So Sam, are you well-connected? Sam No, only to my smartphone! Rob Same here - but we still made it to BBC Learning English and you can find more from us online, on social media and on our app. But for now, that’s all from 6 Minute English. See you again soon. Bye bye! Sam
 Bye everyone!

I'm only well-connected to my smart phone jajajajajajajaj great quote!

Internship can be a very good opportunity to start the carrier, even though it will be not paid. Trainees can gain experience and learn everything on practice, besides they can establish new connections, which help in the future. If a trainee is highly motivated and interested in a company and has a sharp mind, they will be successful. I agree, that it can be very hard to work without getting a salary in such expensive cities like London. If someone doesn’t have rich parents, they wouldn’t be able to afford to work for free. I think, that it is a bit unfair. But maybe it can be reasonable to go for internship to another place, f.ex. to a small town or village, where life is not so expensive.
