These internships provide youth with international development experience, skills, and knowledge to help better prepare them for future employment, while advancing Canadian development objectives. The current iteration of ACIC and the Marine Institute’s IYIP Program, called “Resilient Youth through Supported Inclusion toward Sustained Network Growth (RYSING), is currently in Year 2 of a five-year funding period (2024-2029) which will see 190 interns between the ages of 18 and 30 placed with international partners in 22 countries around the globe. Special priority is given to interns belonging to the following priority groups: Indigenous, Black, People of Colour, 2SLGBTQIA+, and to youth who have faced barriers to employment due to COVID. About RYSING: The Marine Institute and ACIC, along with MI partners and a consortium of ACIC members (all of whom have experience delivering transformative internship programs) collaboratively implement the RYSING International Internship Program. RYSING is currently in Year 2 of a five year funding period (and in Cohort 4 of seven anticipated cohorts). RYSING offers a variety of accessible, 16-week in-country career development placement opportunities. Knowledge transfer and skills training outcomes are based on reciprocal relationships between Canadian youth and local partner staff where each are considered stakeholders and agents of change. Internships incorporate virtual/hybrid pre-departure training and placement orientation, over a 6 week period. This allows for youth to begin engagement at a pace that fits within a part-time work schedule, and is adaptive to a variety of individual, community, and family circumstances. IYIP staff work with partners to meet individual interns' needs and address barriers to participation identified by youth during the recruitment phase, such as access to technology, peer support, and or appropriate spaces to engage in online work. Interns also take part in a 1-week intensive pre-departure training. This time will allow for building deeper connections, confidence and shared learning among peers, and give youth a sense of shared experience and strength. The connections youth gain as part of this type of group learning environment have shown to improve their well-being, commitment to program completion and continued engagement post-placement initiatives. Building on observed results from MI & ACIC Internships working with youth participants who face barriers to employment including Indigenous youth, 2SLGBTQI+ youth and racialized youth, ACIC and MI have gained significant insight into best practice for supporting equitable program access, as well as identifying and addressing systemic barriers to employment for youth post-placement. These lessons have informed our approach to prioritize pre-departure training and orientation topics, increase internship support systems while in-country - adapted to the specific needs of target groups, as well as a key program focus on mentorship, network growth and sustained engagement, training and career development support following in-country placement.

Internships Jointly implemented by the Atlantic Council for International Cooperation and the Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, the International Youth Internship Program offers youth the opportunity to gain valuable international work experience through 4-month internship placements with partner organizations in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, and Central America. The International Youth Internship Program was launched in 1997, and has always focused on offering young people aged 18-30 from Canada the opportunity to gain skills and professional experience while travelling, living, and working abroad. Since its inception, IYIP has and sent over 7,000 youth to work with partner organizations and institutional abroad in the field of international development. IYIP is part of the Government of Canada's Youth Employment and Skills Strategy and aims to prepare youth in Canada for future employment or further studies. The focus of the current 2023-2028 IYIP program is to provide meaningful and transformative opportunities to youth facing barriers to employment, such as youth with disabilities, Indigenous youth, racialized youth, and 2SLGBTQI+ youth. Applications for Cohort 5 will open in during Summer 2026 Cohort 5 placements will take place from January - May 2027. Application window for Cohort 6 will take place in February 2027. About Eligibility Criteria Application Process Important Dates About the Program This program is designed for youth who: Have faced barriers in securing meaningful employment Are seeking opportunities to acquire new skills and gain professional experience abroad Are interested in contributing their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways abroad Are curious, open-minded, and flexible IYIP is a 5-month commitment that involves: 1 month of pre-departure training (6 weeks virtually, 1 week in person), 4 month international internship placement with a local partner organization, 3 days of post-internship debrief in Canada. The program costs are funded (including airfare, transportation costs, visa fees, pre-departure and post-internship training), and interns will receive a stipend while abroad. Application Process Step 1: Written Application Your written application is completed through the application form online. The information and questions are simple and meant to help us understand why you’re interested in the program and the knowledge, skills, and interests that you bring. These applications are reviewed with three criteria: that you have learned about and looked into the program, that you indicate a good fit for one of the partner organizations or placement opportunities, and that you demonstrate one of the qualities most important to the program (curiosity, flexibility, adaptability, and open-mindedness). Applications not meeting these criteria will not be invited to step two. Step 2: Introductory Interview The Introductory Interview is completed with one of the program managers as a way to learn more about your skills, experiences, and interests. These are conversational interviews that have some planned questions. In this step of the process, we select candidates to move forward who demonstrate the qualities important to the program: curiosity, flexibility, adaptability, and open-mindedness. Step 3: Placement Interview The final step in the application process is an interview with international partners and/or subject matter experts. These are more formal, structured interviews led by our international partners and require preparation on the part of the applicant. Not everyone who completes a Placement Interview will be offered an internship position and in this final stage, the international partners ultimately determine who receives an offer. Important Dates Cohort 4 July 27th - 31st: In-Person Pre-Departure Training August 3rd - November 21st: In-Person Internship Placements Cohort 5 Applications for Cohort 5 will open during the Summer of 2026 December 2026/January 2027: Pre-Departure Training January - May 2027: In-Person Internship Placements Cohort 6 Applications for Cohort 6 will tentatively open in February 2027 Eligibility Criteria To be eligible for this program, you must: Be 18-30 years old, at the start date of the internship Be Canadian citizen or permanent resident Not have previously completed an in-person IYIP Placement This program gives priority to Indigenous, Racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+ interns and youth who have experienced barriers to employment due to COVID-19.
