unpaid intern
Trainee without salary
An unpaid intern is someone who works for an organization without salary, typically to gain experience or academic credit.
The arrangement is common in competitive fields like media, fashion, and politics, where young people accept no pay in exchange for résumé credentials and industry connections.
Critics argue unpaid internships exploit workers and favor those with financial support: Only kids whose parents can subsidize them can afford to be unpaid interns in New York.
