Description:
This project is part of Global Affairs Canada’s International Youth Internship Program (IYIP), funded by the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy. The IYIP aims to provide youth aged 18 to 30, living in Canada, particularly those facing employment barriers, with the opportunity to gain professional experience in international development.
The project implemented by Alternatives will provide young Canadians, primarily women and those from cultural, ethnic, or sexual minorities, who are completing or continuing their secondary and university studies in the Montreal, Quebec, and Ottawa metropolitan areas, with the opportunity to undertake an internship abroad. A total of 218 internships will be offered, each lasting four months. The interns will conduct their internships in institutions related to the fields of education and gender, communications and new technologies, and women's rights. Interns will have the chance to collaborate with experienced experts in a different context from that of Canada, providing them with an opportunity to enhance their skills, gain new knowledge, and develop expertise through interactions with other professionals.
