Internship Eligibility
Candidates must be between the ages of 19-30. Post-secondary education is a strong asset.
Training Sessions Format
The typical format of the internship includes 4 training sessions with community partners, as well as opportunities to network with community leaders and learn valuable skills for working in the public sector.
Short-listed candidates are required to create pitch videos and speed network with the participating offices (City Council members and City Executives) to determine the best fits for the various placements. Once the matches have been made, the youth join the City of Edmonton teams. The length of the internship may range from 8-10 weeks.
Since the completion of the 2023 program, 6 of the 13 interns have secured part-time or full-time employment, including 4 within Council Offices, Administration or another government policy office.
