Exploiternship

An exploiternship (noun) is a type of internship offered by certain companies or organizations that involves the unethical and unfair exploitation of interns' labor without providing proper compensation or valuable learning experiences. During an exploiternship, interns are often tasked with significant responsibilities and duties that should be reserved for paid employees but are denied any monetary remuneration or benefits for their work.

The term "exploiternship" is a blend of the words "exploit" and "internship," highlighting the exploitative nature of such work arrangements where interns are taken advantage of and not adequately compensated for their contributions. This word serves as a reminder of the importance of fair and ethical treatment of interns, advocating for better labor practices and guidelines in internship programs.
