Welcome to YPI
Young Professionals International (YPI) is a program designed to help internationally-focussed young Canadians and permanent residents kickstart their careers by gaining international work experience. YPI, which is part of the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy (YES), provides young people up to 30 years of age, who possess a post-secondary degree or diploma, with a first, career-related international work experience through 6 to 12 month placements abroad.

In the Government's announcement of its restraint measures on September 25^th, YPI was identified as a non-core program for the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Funding for current participants will be maintained, but the program will end March 31^st, 2007. Canadians interested in international youth programs should visit www.Canada123go.ca
