National Internship Awareness Month timeline

2019

Paid internships returned to Capitol Hill

After 30 years of unpaid internships in Washington, the non-profit Pay Our Interns successfully convinced Congress to allot money to pay political interns.

Paying interns is important because money allows more diverse candidates the financial freedom to accept these important internships.

"The Intern" released

Interns got the star treatment in this comedy where Robert De Niro plays a 70-year- old intern at a fashion magazine.

Occupy Wall Street

When millennials realized that they were facing record economic downward mobility, they joined the Occupy Wall Street movement to protest wealth inequality and unfair labor practices, including exploitative unpaid internships.

In the years that followed, many large companies began giving interns stipends for the time they work.

Congress passes the National Apprenticeship Law

Think of it as a precursor to National Internship Awareness Month. This law set out the definition and expectations for both employers and interns in the U.S. about what an internship constitutes. The National Apprenticeship Law also promoted internships in professional fields beyond medicine.

Apprenticeships

Since medieval times, certain trade professions would pass on knowledge by way of a master to an apprentice. People learned crafts such as construction, wizardry, painting and sculpture, and metalworking by receiving mentorship from an older practitioner. The key difference between internships and apprenticeships is that apprentices would receive lodging and food for their labor, whereas many of today's internships are unpaid.

Career Edge Organization founded National Internship Awareness Month in 2017. So every April we celebrate the benefits of internships for both employers and students. Think of it as a joint effort to produce tomorrow’s great talent. While internships often get a bad reputation as unpaid busywork, they’re still a great way for young professionals to start their careers through meaningful experience.

They’re also on the rise: About 62% of the class of 2017 reported doing at least one internship as compared to just 17% of the class of 1992. Cheers to you, interns!
