Hi all,
I am writing to share information about an internship program that is being
led by Alternatives, APC member based in Montreal. The International
Youth Internship Program (IYIP) is focused on
'technology and
communication at the heart of social change'.
Internship placements are available to individuals between the ages
of 19 and 30 who have a post-secondary diploma and are legally
allowed to work in Canada. The placements are intended to provide
international experience, skills and knowledge that will prepare
young people in Canada for future employment.

APC will host 3 interns in South Africa, with expected start date
of September 2018:
As part of the initiative, Alternatives covers the cost of
transportation, accommodation, travel insurance, and subsistence
costs for the interns. Training and support is provided throughout
the entire period of the internship.
To be eligible for internship, candidates must:
- Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident or be legally
allowed to work in Canada;
- Have a post-secondary diploma and have obtained a degree or
diploma from a university, college, post-secondary technology
school, post-secondary institute or CEGEP (general education
college and professional in Quebec);
- Be between the ages of 19 to 30 when the final selection is
made (when the contracts between the trainee and Alternatives
are signed);
- Have never participated in the IYIP.
The selection process for internship placements will begin 24
May 2018.
