I have no idea. It is what is is... :/

Cynically it feels to me like it's just a nice way for the companies nearby to get free labor.

My assumption for that is just that it's just supposed to be an internship somewhere where our focus would be to study and thus we shouldn't get any benefits from it, but I've never heard of it working that way. It was always in IT here just being an unpaid junior.
