Intern Aware

We campaign for fair internships. Young people can't be ignored any longer: interns must be hired for their talent, rather than their ability to work for free.

[Sir Alec Shelbrooke MP @AlecShelbrooke]

Delighted to be carrying on the campaign for fairer internships by backing the second reading of this Bill in @HouseofCommons this November. I've championed this cause in every term since my first election in 2010.

[Intern Aware @internaware]

Big step forward as @LordCHolmes' fair internships bill is voted through the House of Lords. Now we're counting on campaigning MPs like @AlecShelbrooke @stellacreasy to make it law.

@nicerecruiter @parislees @guardian @BBC @Channel4 Actually C4 has a very good approach to internships. There were issues at the Guardian and BBC but believe they've tackled it.

[Intern Aware @internaware]

@AmyLockwood1 Would be amazing if you guys could do something ahead of the Bill!
