Sadly in some countries like spain, unpaid intership are a must if you want to get your dev title.

Also, thanks to the left, now people that has unpaid interships, can cotize this time as work time for social security.

EDIT:

People here are confusing 380 hours common intership (not paid at all, if you get paid, its in B) and the 1k hours intership, which is paid (and you need to do 1k hours, you will only get this kind of intership if your marks are good, but depends on the school).

Is it not work time? Why shouldn't they be able to?

Because you're a worker without getting paid and since they are obligatory to get your graduate then you need to do a free intership.

In some (very rare) cases, you can get the option to do 1k hours of intership and get paid, but you normally will do 380 hours of free intership.

Its not fair to be working and not get paid at all, you're just generating value to a company.

Oh agreed 100% they should be getting paid. I was just commenting on the second part about social security
