Internships are mostly about trading free labor for job experience. But Toronto agency Zulu Alpha Kilo is taking a different approach to internships this year—turning them into employeeships, where two soon-to-be or recent grads will get real jobs at the agency, with real salaries.

We decided to create real jobs instead,” says Zak Mroueh, chief creative officer and founder of Zulu Alpha Kilo. “We figured a ‘$40K a Year Employeeship’ with a $5,000 signing bonus was one way to attract the best up-and-coming talent.”
