The music business has long been known for its internships created in order for those aspiring to work in the industry to gain experience at record labels and other music companies, and potentially get a foot in the door. However, some unpaid internships are leaving young people out of pocket so to combat this UK Music have teamed up with Intern Aware to ensure that internships are conducted fairly.

They've published a guide to this effect as well aimed at music businesses, the Internship Code Of Practice, so if you want to take a look at one, visit the link below and download a copy.
