<p>I’ve actually had some unpaid interns work with me in my small business. They were in the culinary program at the local CC, and internship was required. These kids were actually interning with one of my clients in her store, but she arranged for them to spend a few days with various suppliers: regular and gluten-free bakers, a chocolatier (me), and so on. I put the kids to work with me, and showed them various phases of the process. It was a win-win, and we all had a good time. :)</p>
<p>Actually, I didn’t pay them, but it is possible that they were being paid something by the store owner. I’m not sure. They were definitely eager to work with me, though.</p>
