Does CIDA offer internships for graduates and/or undergraduates?
Undergraduates • Undergraduates are not eligible for CIDA’s youth internships. • Opportunities at CIDA for undergraduates may include a post-secondary co-operative (co-op) placement or a placement found through the Public Service Commission’s Federal Student Work Experience Program (FSWEP). Students participating in the co-operative program must contact their university’s co-op office directly for information on placements with CIDA. Graduates • Through the International Youth Internship Program, CIDA has sent thousands of recent graduates to eligible developing countries to gain first-hand work experience in their field of study. CIDA’s internship program is part of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy.
