CICan launched the brand-new Career-Launcher Internships Program in September. This new initiative provides internship opportunities to new graduates thanks to two different program streams focused on the green economy: Clean Tech Internships, which CICan has been offering since 2015, and the brand new Natural Resources Internships. Both programs are funded by the Government of Canada as part of the Youth Employment Strategy and aim to help recent graduates transition to long‑term employment or pursue advanced studies through hands-on experience and mentorship.
All in all, over 260 new graduates and 175 employers benefited from CICan’s Career Launcher Internships Program in 2017-2018.
