Description

As part of CUI International Partnership, we offer a variety of international internships to young professionals. These internships provide them with the opportunity to work overseas, develop their professional and leadership skills, and contribute to sharing Canada’s knowledge with transitioning and developing countries. Internships are open to youth 30 years of age or under.

Internships are funded through CIDA’s International Youth Internship.The program is designed to provide entry-level professional work experience to recent graduates of university degree programs related to urban management, local government, planning and other associated fields. The program provides travel and living expenses for interns to work overseas for six months through a placement in a CUI international project office or within one of our overseas partner organizations. It provides a unique opportunity for young professionals to work as part of a team alongside seasoned international development professionals within the structure of a long-term CIDA-funded project. During the course of the internship, interns are provided with professional learning experiences and upon return to Canada, career development assistance to help them find long-term employment.

This event is also for students interested in the field of international development and/or those looking for professional opportunities overseas. The event would include a brief presentation on CUI’s work internationally and our internship program, a short talk from a current intern about their experiences, and a question and answer period.
