Creating Opportunities through Provincial Partnerships:
Quebec Students Intern at Ontario Businesses
During the summer of 2014, the Economic Planning Boards (EPB) of Quebec & the Maritime Provinces and Ontario jointly implemented a pilot Summer Internship Program, driven by the National EPB, specifically designed for Quebec-based university students. Held in Toronto, the program involved a three-month internship aimed at enabling students to gain valuable work experience while studying. The internship program encompassed on-the-job training, additional practical skills enhancement, and the creation of a platform for applicants to strengthen their own professional networks. All in all, it was a very holistic approach to a university level internship, boosting our confidence and giving recent graduates students a head start in career choices.
