An internship is a pre-professional work experience that provides students, recent graduates, and those seeking to change careers with the opportunity to gain experience in a particular career field. They can be a temporary work placement after graduation, a full time position during the summer or a part-time job during the academic year.
CaPS follows the ethical recruitment guideline of the Canadian Association of Career Educators & Employers (CACEE) Statement on Unpaid Internships
Employers in the federally regulated industries and workplaces who seek to hire interns or student interns should first consult and understand the obligations set by the federal labour standards for interns and student interns.
At CaPS we believe students should be remunerated for productive work.
CaPS does not post unpaid internships/opportunities unless the organization is not for profit. We may post unpaid internships for NGOs / NPOs, and these must be indicated as unpaid. Note that if your organization requires a fee for registration or participation, this must be indicated in the job description.
Upon approval, these opportunities will include the following statement:
A message from CaPS: CaPS does not guarantee that the university / your faculty will recognize this opportunity as an official internship. This is an unpaid or volunteer opportunity and/or requires a fee for participation. CaPS encourages students to evaluate the benefits of this type of opportunity for themselves, and to consult our office or Internships for more information.
(N.B. If the intern displaces a regular, paid employee, the internship is likely illegal).
In addition to compensation, sought-after internship programs include:
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact CaPS.
