Unpaid Interns: Angela Zigras

Angela Zigras: Young people who work as unpaid interns often do so through a school program and receive an academic credit rather than minimum wage in exchange for their labour, according to The Star. We had it as our mandate when we started this program that our students would not go out as free labour, said Zigras and When Seneca College designed a new hospitality management program four years ago, its administration decided to go against the tide of unpaid workers flooding the job market. But Angela Zigras, chair of the school of tourism, said she believes long-term or full-time placements should be paid. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
