    I am wondering what benefits a Host Organisation on the Jobbridge internship scheme get? I read somewhere they get tax breaks but would love to know for sure. I believe there has to be some "big" perk to taking on someone for 9 months other than free labour (as I was on an internship for a week and left due to boredom they had no work for me)

    Is free labour for 9 months not enough?

    Everyone loves free stuff.

    Ever taken free food or a free sample and never used it but just taken it cause it's free...?Pretty awful analogy but C'est La Vie :o

    you sound more like an employer looking to take advantage rather than a ex intern. Your not going to get free labour and free money(tax break):rolleyes:.

    Free labour
    Plus frightening the existing employees as they see cheap replacements coming in

    Someone who works turns up and the place benefits or someone who ain't inclined to work turns up and the place doesn't benefit. Could go either way. I've heard of both situations occurring.
