Not-So-Equal Protection-Reforming the Regulation of Student Internships - 0 views

  •  
    "Internships-the vast majority of which are unpaid-have become a staple of the college experience.

In turn, employers can engage in low-cost workforce training and vetting for future employment."

But the gathering was not a standard-issue job fair. Instead of hired speakers lecturing on how to find a new job or start a business, the attendees themselves were leading the discussions. And though a few employers were on hand, the focus of the day wasn't on being recruited, but on finding resources and new contacts.
