Are you interested in hiring for your environmental non-profit? Find out more about different
wage subsidy programs that offer grants and support to local groups. Some of these can cover up
to 70% of the wages! Join the National Capital Environmental Non-profit Network to find out
more about available programs, how and when to apply, wage-supplement requirements, and
hiring restrictions.
The presentation will include several representatives from the different programs, an overview of
the opportunities by Kristina Inrig for those providers that cannot attend. Featured providers
include:
- United Nations Association in Canada
- Colleges and Institutes Canada – Career Launcher Internships
- Eco Canada programs
- Biotalent internships
There will also be a presentation by two current interns about their experience. As always, there
will be an opportunity for updates from local environmental groups so bring any announcements
or partnership opportunities.
Don’t forget that navigating internship possibilities is tricky because each program has different
criteria and different deadlines. You will benefit from meeting directly with program officers at
this event and learning the ins and outs of the initiatives. Some programs are closed currently,
but will hopefully re-open soon and others are still accepting applications. Come out to find out
more!
