Trouble is new graduates are so desperate for the work experience they will take these internships. It is up to those who purport to monitor the profession to stand up against this. Those of you working for companies who are doing this need to make your feelings known to the bosses. Stuff the argument that they cannot afford to pay trainees if they have enough work available to give a trainee a position then they can afford to pay them something.
I suppose a reasonable approach might be to have interns who work less than the 16 hours so can claim job seekers
