International Youth Internship Program (IYIP)

The International Youth Internship Program (IYIP) is part of the Government of Canada's Youth Employment and Skills Strategy.

It offers Canadian youth, especially those facing barriers to employment^{Footnote 1}, with an opportunity to: 

• gain professional experience abroad in the field of international development; and 
• acquire skills that will prepare them for future employment or further their studies; and 
• contribute to the implementation of Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy and the Sustainable Development Goals. 

More internship opportunities are coming in 2024.
