The first and third Google hits for Internsindia are a Facebook page ("Join Facebook to connect with Interns India and others you may know") and a Twitter account.
The "user" has only contributed twice, the other being an equally unreadable and spammish paragraph in the article; that has already been deleted. Now its partner in crime has joined it. --Thnidu (talk) 21:33, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

I made a separate page about interns in medicine, so I simplified the information here. Some of it was not completely accurate. --DocJohnny 13:21, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: (Nine years pass...) I was looking for info on the medical sense and landed here. Unlike the other head items on the DAB page (Internships.com and the computer science sense of "an immutable copy of a string"), the medical sense is job training and is temporary. I had to look at the DAB page to find it, which is excessive hunting, so I'm adding it into the hatnote. --Thnidu (talk) 21:12, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Could someone explain why companies offer paid internships?  What do they benefit from the relationship?  Is there some sort of tax relief or donation/grant eligibility they gain?  Surely throwing even minimum wage into a pit that does not benefit the company is not of itself worthwhile. 149.159.92.175 07:25, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Internships do benefit the company. They're getting labor for cheap and often free. Additionally, if you're good at your job and they like how you work they can hire you.Cereal box conspiracy 17:50, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why? 

message: It has been argued that unpaid internships are abusive, since 1) in the US, most states can’t condition paid employment on employment; 2) interns are often used for menial tasks; and 3) they really don’t learn that much, anyway.  
Likewise, since students are often given academic credit for them, some have argued that the credit is being given (and the student is charged) for performing work that a paid-employee would do.
i would really advocate for paid internships because;1.you do similar work like the rest of the employees in the company and they are paid,2.By utilising your labuor the companym output increases so you need to be thanked,3.interns give the best of what they have learnt but after like 90 days they do not even retain you,but their business made more profit;you need to at least enjoy you sweat also!Bruno Barugahare,Uganda.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.0.7.66 (talk) 07:26, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

message: NPOV - China. This seems quite biased and uninformative. Does anyone have any information on China?
I've removed the section on Ireland because it was both 1) unsourced and 2)written like an advertisement. I'm sorely tempted to do the same to parts of India and South Africa, due to unsubstantiated claims that the country is a popular destination for internships. This section should focus on what the established practices are in countries, and not take a pro-internship point of view. Otto Neubauer (talk) 13:51, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello, I've done some major copyediting for the March 2012 backlog copyedit drive.  I hope everyone agrees that the page is improved and easier to read.  There should be no real substantive changes.  The biggest change is that I've re-grouped the countries by region, as it seems that the European countries have similar programs that can be compared more easily this way.  Please feel free to let me know how you all feel and thank you for your interest in the Guild of Copy Editors.Gofigure41 04:44, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Terms such permanent internship, perma-intern (or perma intern), and permatern have started appearing in the current economic crisis. Often these terms are referring to a type of internship that could potential be in violation of local, region or national labor laws and regulations. This is also concerning ethical issues regarding internships. See: Intern Abuse?, Bloomberg Businessweek, May 5, 2009 --24.19.230.53 (talk) 01:11, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Economic crisis and internship ethics 

message: Does anyone have info about the permanent internship or the new type of employee the perma-intern? I was looking for info on internship abuse and I read how companies during the recession are laying off regular paid employees and replacing them with unpaid interns instead. I was wondering is this a phenomena of the United States recession or companies abusing the internship?

replies: text: Please add any information about lengthy internships, or seemingly permanent internships, to this article. I have deleted all the redirects to permanent internship. If the subject somehow becomes notable through coverage in reliable sources feel free to create such an article. User:Fred Bauder Talk 13:19, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

text: Please cite notable sources. The subject of permanent internship could refer to this unique internship scheme, yet it is also a business term for the process of taking permanent positions that would have been paid and filling the position with an unpaid intern for two-year commitment. This process has been facing legal challenges in several states. 24.19.230.53 (talk) 18:16, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is the Unpaid Permanent Internship another form of Internship Abuse? 

message: Should foreign terms for internships and participants be included? For example the Brazilian section currently starts "Internships in Brazil are known as estágios (lit. "stages") and internship workers are known as estagiários. " 
Personally I think its a good idea as these are possible search terms and may be used in English-language sources as well. Also they are technically more accurate than intern(ship) because they may include apprentice(ship). Siuenti (talk) 23:12, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Foreign terms like "estágio" 

message: The last paragraph of the introduction currently reads: "Internships are very important in preparing students for the future, if that means a job or a possible direction of study they plan to concentrate on in college. There is so much experience and skills learned from an internship and students look a lot more appealing to businesses when they are in the process of hiring new employees. Whether the internship is paid or it gives the student credit towards graduation, either one, the student is more or less experimenting with a certain field of work rather than going straight into it without any experience. So many students are privileged with jobs through internships because the business and the student gain relationships and trust, therefore its almost as if the student already has a job with the employer."
This has a number of issues. Firstly the entire thing is unsourced, secondly it seems extremely US-centric but most importantly it's at best weasel wording and at worst extremely biased. It doesn't quite read like an advertisement but more like one person's extremely passionate expression of support for internships. I'm not sure whether to attempt to re-write it or simply delete it since it doesn't seem to add anything, but it shouldn't stay as it is. 108.171.128.169 (talk) 10:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

message: I see no distinction between "work experience" and "internship" (i.e. they seem like the exact same subject per our merge policy).   (you may have to do some scrolling to see that the two titles are synonymous).  Plus, more people search for internship than work experience. Aasim 04:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
