Graduate Unpaid Internship

TheGiggler1991 · 2018-04-24 10:16:46

Hi guys I'm currently in my final year and have been offered a good internship albeit unpaid. I'm currently on BTEA but I'm over 25 and therefore not eligible for the new incarnation of JobBridge My question is will I have to come off social welfare when taking the internship? Cheers

technically yes as you won’t be available to work if the social ask you are you actively looking.

A friend of mine was offered an internship like yourself. He argued with them over pay and stood his ground and they agreed to pay him.
