Program description

The Science and Technology Internship Program – Green Jobs covers the cost of a new hire’s salary by 50% to a maximum of $15,000/year to help employers hire the talent they need and help youth initiate a career. Employers can bring on an eager, young worker for a special project – and at the end of the placement end up with a skilled candidate already oriented to their company. Youth from northern and remote communities have an opportunity for an increased subsidy.

Natural Resources include the fields of energy, forestry, and minerals and metals as well as earth sciences
