Petition Unemployed Graduates should be able to receive benefits and intern simultaneously.

More details

Obtaining a career is tougher than ever for a Graduate with little or no experience.

Many roles are obtained by completing unpaid internships. By partaking in unpaid work, you are not technically a looking for a job, so not entitled to Government help. We are the people who in the future will be contributing most with taxes when we get the chance to get the careers we have worked so hard for whilst at University.

Internships are not only for the rich.
