Municipal Internship Program │ Government of Alberta

January 1, 1900

Value

Varies.

Description

The Municipal Internship Program is Canada’s longest running program of its kind. It provides support to municipalities and planning service agencies to build capacity in the municipal sector by developing recent post-secondary graduates to become future leaders in municipal government.

Eligible Applicants

Municipalities and planning services agencies interested in hosting an intern should consider the following before applying:

  • Ensure your organization has the capacity to train an intern in all areas including those listed in the Intern Workplan, or partner with a neighbouring organization to do so.
  • Ensure you can commit the time and resources (both funding and staff) to support an intern.
  • Assist an intern in pursuing a career in local government.
  • Senior management has professional, supervisory, and mentoring skills to be an effective supervisor for the intern.
  • Have a qualified backup supervisor for the intern in case the primary supervisor is not available (for example: vacation or leaves the organization).
  • Full support from council and administration for hosting an intern.

Eligible Expenses

Through hands-on, real life work experience, professional development and mentoring over an 18-month period, interns receive a solid foundation for careers in municipal administration, finance or land use planning. Since the Municipal Internship Program was reintroduced in 2002, 350 interns and more than 100 municipalities have participated. More than two-thirds of these program alumni continue to work in Alberta’s municipal sector and in other public sector careers.

Deadline Date

The Municipal Internship Program for host municipalities operates on a cyclical basis. The application period for the 2026 intake closed on October 24, 2025. Details for the 2027 intake, including application opening dates and deadlines, are typically announced in late 2026. Please visit the official website for the most current information and guidelines.
