The
Career Enhancer Foreign
Internship Project is now
closed. Thank you for
your interest in the
opportunity to work abroad
provided by the
DiversityCanada Foundation.

The DiversityCanada Foundation has
designed several internship positions
for post-secondary graduates under its
Career Enhancer Foreign Internship
Project. These funded internships
provide young professionals with the
opportunity to utilize relevant skills
learned through their academic program;
develop flexibility, inter-cultural
effectiveness, and readiness to work in
new environments; learn self-reliance,
strengthen language skills and
inter-personal skills; and develop
personal and professional confidence and
the ability to participate in the global
economy.
Candidates
qualify
to participate as an intern if they are:
• no older than 30 years of age
(inclusive) at the time of selection;
• a post-secondary graduate (with a
college diploma/certificate or
university degree)
• out of school (ie not currently
enrolled in an academic program);
• a Canadian citizen, permanent resident
or person on whom refugee status has
been conferred;
• unemployed or underemployed
• new to the Career Focus program (that
is, they have not previously
participated in any work experience
funded through the Career Focus
program).
These placements are for six months with
some of the leading companies, financial
institutions and non-profit
organizations in Europe, Central America
and South America, as well as in the
United States. These
positions are offered under the
Department of Foreign Affairs
and International Trade's Young
Professionals International
program.
