"Inhuman" as it may be, internship is meant to offer a trainee an 
opportunity to be in a "simulated" environment pertaining to his 
training. The company has no responsibility to offer any pay to the 
trainee. If the trainee as a result of the internship gets to grow, 
should the company then claim some benefit from them for giving them the
 internship?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 12:16 PM, ndungu stephen <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:ndungustephen@gmail.com" target="_blank">ndungustephen@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
