unpaid work
Unpaid work is any job or work performed without getting paid, like internships, work experience or vocational training programs.
Unpaid work often involves gaining experience or skills in a particular field without receiving a salary. This can be part of educational programs, where students do internships or work placements as part of their course, or as voluntary work experience to gain practical skills in a specific industry. While these opportunities can provide valuable experience, they should be carefully structured to ensure they are fair and beneficial to the individual.
