Indigenous Summer Internship Program

Empowering Indigenous youth by providing skills and training in the fastest growing industry in Canada.

Program Overview

Information Technology (IT) is the fastest growing industry in Canada and is by far the largest spend with all levels of government and across various industries. According to Indigenous Services Canada, less than 1% of people employed in the Information Technology field are Indigenous. Every industry across Canada leverages technology and we are facing a shortage of highly skilled individuals to help us address the challenges that society is facing today. We are happy to announce that we will continue for another summer in 2024.

The Indigenous Internship Program, is an 8-week online curriculum intended to encourage the participants to pursue a career in technology and a life-long learning journey in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM). These skills build local capacity and often result in launching businesses that create higher income jobs on-reserve.
