Why is the world more keen and interested to invest and collaborate with India now? Because India has abundant skilled manpower! But the question that still pops up is; why do I need to go abroad? Being aware of the corporate industry and the competition in the market, the education system in India is kind of outdated for it. By the time Indians pass high school, they are clueless of their potential. Most of them do not know what their aptitude is; what their specialization is. And it is necessary to know what you are good at. The cost of studying at the most prestigious college in India is, sometimes, more than the cost of studying in a college that is among the top 200 of the world. And why are Indians not taking up the opportunity in spite of being aware of their potential? Most of the people believe that it is necessary to have somebody already living in some country abroad in order to be able to go there and study. If you have a look at Albert Einstein’s ta...

Elizabeth Tinkler was considering a radio career until her internship at a Boston radio station turned her away from it. She was brought on staff as a "promotions intern," where she thought she would help plan events, concerts, and contests. A semester's worth of Saturdays, thousands of stickers, and one state fair later, Tinkler realized that her true job description meant handing out bumper stickers at local events and gas stations.

Sponsoring unpaid internships can allow employers to help students hoping to someday enter a specific field of work. Mentoring and training students through hands-on experience can help them gain the skills necessary to achieve success in their future career endeavours. Bear in mind, however, that the fact that a student is classified as an intern and is learning while on the job doesn’t automatically mean that a company gets free labor. Paid or unpaid? Many employers are under the assumption that an internship program is an inexpensive way to increase productivity. The reality is that the criteria for unpaid internships are quite restrictive. Giving an unpaid intern duties equivalent to those performed by other employees runs the risk of violating wage and hour laws. If an intern claims that he or she was not paid for doing the work of an employee, an employer may be expected to provide back pay, and could be stuck with expensive legal fees.
