    The employer that provides the training derives no IMMEDIATE advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded; Thus, an intern can do work that the company profits from, it just doesn't need to be immediate.

      Yes, but in context that clause seems more aimed towards an intern being accidentally useful, not picking up tasks with a deadline more than X months out. Having something done now that will start being useful later on still has arguable immediate value from the perspectives of scheduling and investing in the future of the company.
