It works like this, companies rely on new recruits working for free (subsidised by parents) to get on the job training in their chosen occupation.

think of it as a white collar apprentiship scheme

on the plus side they usually lead to well paid (50k and above) jobs

it is quite a neat way of keeping the poor out of the top jobs, because they obvioulsy can't work for nothing
