### Evolution of Apprenticeships into Unpaid Internships

- **Episode:** [939: Bigdala](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/939-bigdala.md)
- **Published:** 2017-06-18
- **Time:** 25:20–31:28
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/939-bigdala/chapter/evolution-of-apprenticeships-into-unpaid-internships.md

The traditional apprenticeship model has largely been replaced by internships, which are frequently unpaid and sometimes exploited for college credit without providing real skills. Personal anecdotes about blacksmithing and paper routes illustrate a shift from rigorous on-the-job training to a system where interns may not even show up for work. This transition is cited as a contributing factor to the current "unemployability" of some younger workers.

The bill also makes it unlawful for employment agencies to publish advertisements that disqualify applicants based on their current unemployment status. Critics describe the program as a source of subsidized labor for corporations under the guise of job training.
