Drawing on data from the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) internship module fielded in 2015-2017, this report offers several key findings related to historical changes and emerging forms of inequality in the intern economy. In addition to illuminating these findings, this report offers an important addendum to the 2015 SNAAP report (see ED574458) about differences between paid and unpaid internships. While the 2015 report showed that paid internships are tied to positive career outcomes and unpaid internships are far less beneficial in terms of career trajectories, this report suggests two key explanations for this divide: (1) Paid interns are more likely to report higher satisfaction with mentorship and assigned duties that involved creative input or judgment than unpaid interns; and (2) Interns who were satisfied with the mentorship they received and who reported being assigned more creative duties were significantly more likely to get hired at the internship site.
