I guess the HR asked the tech how they think about it, and they made a joke and no one got it.
The actual reason: even if you don't pay the intern, you still have to pay him with time from the guys in the department. Which means that they can't produce money while they are helping the intern.
But I wish you the best of luck,to find an internship with good coworkers.
If you have some experience you might are able to help and don't cost so much help-time.
I wad looking for a kind of 'internship', i'm an 18y/o high school self-taught programmer, and applied for a job at a small company in my town, with a mention: "I don't wanna be paid, I want just to evolve my skills, by gaining experience". When they called me, the HR girl told me exactly this: "If you can gain 2 years of experience until next month, we will hire you". My face expression changed to a poker one and I asked "How am I supposed to spend 2 years in 2 weeks?" and she responded: "I don't know, I told you what they told me to tell you"... Anyone else who got into a situation like this? How is this even possible?
