NCFDC is Seeking 3 Talented Youth for Summer Internships at Venture13

With the support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program, NCFDC’s Summer Internships are back with three new positions posted for youth interested in entrepreneurship and innovation. CSJ is designed to help young Canadians successfully transition into the labour market.

Interested candidates can apply now for the following opportunities at NCFDC for the summer of 2023:

• Business Analyst
• Marketing Assistant
• Policetech Engineering Intern

Please follow the links above for further information about each position, and to apply.

As an example of the exciting challenges interns will tackle, the Policetech Engineering Intern will work with the winner of the V13 Policetech Accelerator Pitch to the Chief™ competition to co-develop a new device application on the Helium network.

“What we’re hearing from former interns is that working with NCFDC provides real-world experience and training that was directly beneficial to their long-term career aspirations,” said Joe Miller, Business Development Office at NCFDC and V13 Policetech Accelerator lead. “And we in turn benefit from engaging with highly energetic students and recent graduates who are passionate about making a difference in the world of community innovation here at Venture13.”

Applicants must meet Canada Summer Jobs eligibility requirements to apply:

• be between 15 and 30 years of age at the beginning of the employment period;
• be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person to whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act for the duration of the employment;*
• and have a valid Social Insurance Number at the start of employment and be legally entitled to work in Canada in accordance with relevant provincial or territorial legislation and regulations.

We hope that you will share these employment opportunities with talented young people in your network. We look forward to reviewing new applications and getting started on some truly exceptional new projects, supporting client and program success.

*International students are not eligible for the CSJ. International students include anyone who is temporarily in Canada for studies and who is not a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person who has been granted refugee status in Canada. Youth awaiting a refugee status ruling, as well as those who hold a temporary visitor visa, youth visa or work visa are ineligible, as the objective of the Canada Summer Jobs program is to support youth entering the Canadian labour market, the temporary nature of an international student’s time in Canada does not allow for a long-term connection to the labour market.
