Virtual Internship Opportunity
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
The internship should focus on the international, namely on the relations between countries, at whatever level (governmental or civil society), in whatever dimension of the international (strategic, economic, legal, diplomatic, cultural,), and wherever the experience takes place (in Canada or abroad).
The activities and tasks should be directly linked to the solution of concrete international problems and the promotion of international cooperation.
The internee must be involved with the creation and implementation of projects or programmes dealing with the solution of international conflicts and the promotion of international cooperation, in the areas of special interest to the agencies, which employ them. The projects they work on can be quite varied; for an organization with an international cooperation focus, students could work on tasks including marketing, business development, and research (to name a few).
Types of organizations that could be a fit include:
- Embassies
- Consulates
- NGOs with an international component (eg. UNICEF, Amnesty International)
- Social Enterprise with an international component
Students are bilingual, with professional fluency in French and English.
Les entreprises doivent répondre aux questions suivantes pour soumettre une demande de jumelage pour cette expérience:
Provide a dedicated contact who will act as the student's primary supervisor over the duration of the virtual placement. A secondary contact should be provided as a backup. Students will interact virtually with their primary contact on a daily basis, or as needed.
Placements are unpaid, for-credit experience for students, but honorariums are welcomes if your organization is able to provide a stipend for the student.
Placements are for credit and therefore unpaid.
Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
The host institution accepts to supervise the internee and to submit a short report on the internee’s overall performance, notably on her/his learning and problem- solving ability, adaptability to the new environment, and relation with the host organization’s personnel and clients.
