NRC IRAP Youth Employment Program
Summary
The NRC IRAP Youth Employment Program (YEP) is designed to assist innovative Canadian Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in hiring youth (aged 15-30) for internships. The program provides funding to support the development of young talent within Canada's STEM sector, offering valuable work experience to youth and a resource to SMEs.
Eligibility Criteria
* SMEs must be incorporated and have fewer than 500 employees. * Youth must be legally entitled to work in Canada and be between 15 and 30 years of age. * Internships must be in a STEM field and contribute to the company's R&D activities. * The SME must be an innovative company operating in Canada.
How to Apply
Interested SMEs should visit the NRC IRAP Youth Employment Program webpage. The application process typically involves submitting a proposal outlining the internship project, the role of the youth, and how the internship aligns with the program's objectives. Key documents will likely include company registration details, financial statements, and a detailed project description. "We support the recruitment and development of young talent within the innovation ecosystem" is a key phrase to keep in mind when framing your application.
