The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) is today calling on the Government to introduce a £2.50 an hour training wage for internships lasting for three months or longer.
                                    
              
                                    
              
                                    
              The knock-on effect of recession means graduates aren't just competing for entry-level jobs against experienced workers: they’re now competing against them for internships too.
