They go with 'interships', of course! The '' key had probably goe sticky o their keyboard. Otherwise you'd have oticed that the third sort of 'jobs that last' was 'granduate schemes', which I think is the never-caught-on British translation of the French grand projets. Which you have to admit is a good idea for boosting employment, if a little unfashionably Keynesian.
Taking the substance of the other two sorts of 'jobs that last':
I can imagine that we'll always need apprentices. Although their history hasn't always been ... untroubled.
I think 'interships' was originally the name for young lads who scampered down between the boats in a naval dockyard, to retrieve bits and pieces dropped by clumsy dockers or sailors. In modern parlance it means more broadly people employed (often on crappy wages) to fix the mess left by more important and better-paid people, and to do the menial tasks they deem beneath them. I suppose that's the service economy and all that so we have to live with it.
