[Sust-mar] 20 International Internships with ACIC available now!

[ACIC Communications]

The Atlantic Council for International Cooperation (ACIC) is currently
recruiting 20 youth (ages 19-30) to participate in our internship program.
This program is part of the International Youth Internship Program (IYIP)
under the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). I have attached
a copy of all essential information for you to share with your students
and/or members.

Since 2002, the Atlantic Council for International Cooperation (ACIC) has
offered 48 internships in 15 countries through the International Youth
Internship Program (CIDA). These internships provide youth (age 19-30) with
international development experience, skills, and knowledge to help better
prepare them for future employment, while advancing Canadian development
objectives.

ACIC works with its Canadian member organizations and their international
partners to offer interns valuable experience both overseas as well as in
Canada. Interns will work in the areas of securing the future of children
and youth, stimulating sustainable economic growth, and increasing food
security. Through this experience, interns develop skills and experience
that will assist them in securing employment as well as enabling them to
make connections and develop relationships with many Canadian development
practitioners.

Internships are nine months in duration, with six months spent at hosting
partner organizations in Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ghana, Honduras, Peru
and Tanzania. Interns work in Canada for the other three months with an ACIC
member organization both prior to their departure overseas and upon their
return.

A modest living allowance is provided, as well as funding to assist with a
variety of costs related to the internship, including: travel to overseas
posting, medical insurance, visas, training and job search support. Interns
cover the cost of travel to and from the location in Atlantic Canada at the
beginning and end of their contract.
