This would help young people to recognise where they'll get a good experience and plenty of opportunities.

...such as a code of conduct for running internships.

Just because an advert for an internship sounds great, the intern may be stuck doing admin or duties that should be the remit of paid employees. Organisations should define the expected balance of work and be upfront about the opportunity.

Interns shouldn't have to rely on an unfair 'old boys network' to get their internship.

If you are interning and have been promised expenses but the boss tries to wriggle out of paying them it would be nice to have someone to turn to who can tell the employer the rights an intern has.

Everytime an unpaid internship is spotted (excluding charities), Internocracy writes to them reminding them of the rules/laws/best practice surrounding internships, whilst encouraging them to consider providing the National Minimum Wage where the placement is longer than 4 weeks.

My current boss is threatening to ruin my future because I am trying to leave an unpaid internship for a paid one in the same field. The freedom to leave (with 2-weeks notice of course) should be standard practice in internships.

Through school presentations, information and workshops at university careers services, and by raising the issue of internships in the media and with policymakers.

This would not only benefit the intern, but the employer would benefit from the specialist knowledge, skills or connections an intern would develop.

Ensuring that organisations are clear about the process of the internship, and are not encouraged to draft in streams of interns as a 'cheap option' whenever there's an overflow of work.
