Paid vs. Unpaid Internship Criteria

  • The U.S. Department of Labor's Fair Labor Standards should be referred to when determining program guidelines. 
  • Providing some type of compensation often raises the size and quality of the applicant pool.
  • Students in paid positions are able to stay longer, and may be trained to undertake more advanced tasks.
  • Paid interns are less likely to have competing job demands and can often work more hours.
