We are glad that the Canadian government can be a part of that. Projects deal with a wide variety of international issues, such as women's and children's rights, education, Aboriginal issues, peace and security, global health, international trade, and environment. The program is open to persons 18-29 years of age, out of school, unemployed or underemployed. They must be legally permitted to work in Canada. Launched in February 1997, International Youth Internship Programs are delivered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the Canadian International Development Agency, Human Resources Development Canada, Environment Canada, Industry Canada, and Canadian Heritage.
Funding is built into the existing fiscal framework.
The names of the organizations and institutions that will implement the internship projects in the coming year, along with a summary of each project, are on the attached list. Internship activities will focus on implementing information infrastructures in developing country institutions, communicating how to build sustainable development into world trade policies and government practices, and promoting sustainable solutions for the business sector. Interns should be graduates of international business, development, and related programs. Dr. Marshall Wm. Conley, Department of Political Science Tel.
