Can solutions be found in collaborative governance?Miiap
Financial crises are not fateful coincidences. A useful approach to depict the way financial interactions may lead to speculative escalations and alas to crises can rely on game theory. Meanwhile, in these frameworks, rational decision making processes are not realistic, because of the uncertainty underlying each situation. Strategic and self-governed games taking into account this uncertainty can then constitute a first step of justification towards collaborative but free governance of financing systems.

Business Trends
• Rule of Thumb: the experience
provided needs to outweigh the pay.
• If you don't plan on paying an intern, you
need to certainly make sure they are
learning something.
• Positions that are highly coveted or
competitive usually are not paid. Typically,
these positions sometimes have a high
starting salary if interns are hired.
• An intern for an average position that would
require more effort to find and hire would,
in most cases, require payment.
• Most companies with the resources to pay
www.orspartners.com info@orspartners.com (484) 684-7471 4
interns usually do.

5. 6 Types of Internships & Pay
• Externships are distinguished by their short duration. The
student spends a short period of time (usually one to
three weeks) observing and often working with
professionals in their career field of choice. They are most
common in the legal and medical fields and are unpaid.
>
• Service learning allows you to work in organized service
within a community (elementary school, secondary
school, institution of higher learning, or community
service program). Typically unpaid.
• If you want to learn a highly skilled trade, and make
money doing it, apprenticeships offer both practical
experience and in-school training. Apprenticeships are
paid and wages increase as the apprentice gains
experience. Apprenticeships vary in length from one to
five years.
>
• SERVICE LEARNING
• EXTERNSHIP
• APPRENTICESHIP
• COOPERATIVE EDUCATION (CO-OP)
• A co-op is a three-way partnership between a
student, an employer, and a college or university. It
allows students to integrate work experience into
their academic studies for credit.
www.orspartners.com info@orspartners.com (484) 684-7471 5
• FIELD EXPERIENCE
• Fieldwork is an opportunity—most commonly used
by students pursuing careers in science or
sociology—to develop skills by observing, recording,
mapping, and interpreting data. Typically paid.
• PRACTICUM
• Practica offer students the chance to apply their
academic experience to a real-world project.
Students work in teams or individually under the
joint supervision of an employer and an academic
adviser. Typically unpaid and through university
curriculum.
6. Legalities
>
What Employers Need to Know
• Unpaid interns should not be doing the same work as employees but should have
specific intern tasks and should always be in a structured educational program
following the requirements outlined by the DOL.
• The internship should resemble an educational program – have a program description,
outline/syllabus, and assignments with documentation.
>
• Most important with using unpaid interns is understanding what violates FLSA and state
labor laws.
