The International Youth Internship Program (IYIP) is part of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment and Skills Strategy. This program aims to provide youth aged 18 to 30, living in Canada, particularly those facing employment barriers, with the opportunity to acquire:
- Professional experience abroad (or in some cases, virtually), in the field of international development;
- Skills to prepare them for future employment or further studies.
- Contribute to the implementation of Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy and the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Program supports Canadian organizations that send a wide range of interns interested in putting their time and skills to work for communities in developing countries.
