For Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students make up one-tenth of the NRC workforce during the summer. Students get an opportunity to work on leading edge research projects and in turn contribute their energy and fresh ideas. NRC has 4 programs designed to facilitate the hiring of students and 2 programs for recent graduates.

Youth Employment Strategy:

The Youth Employment Strategy (YES), http://www.youth.gc.ca/ is the Government of Canada's commitment to help Canadian youth get the work experience, knowledge, skills and information they need to prepare for, and participate in, the world of work. YES also assists employers who hire youth.

The Strategy is delivered through the collective efforts of fourteen Government of Canada departments and agencies, and is spearheaded by the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development (HRSD). YES brings together employment programs and services for youth, and initiatives created through partnerships with business, labour, industry, not-for-profit and voluntary organizations, Aboriginal and rural and remote communities, and other levels of government. Since 1997, the Government of Canada has helped over 3 million young Canadians through the YES and other targeted youth programs.

NRC-IRAP (http://www.irap-pari.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/) delivers two youth initiatives on behalf of YES. NRC-IRAP's Internship Program with Innovative Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Collaborative Research Internships Program provide firms with support to hire post-secondary graduates. Both firms and graduates benefit from these programs: firms benefit from the graduate’s expertise in a diverse variety of disciplines and graduates gain valuable work experience that will help open the doors for future employment:
