ExportEdge Program
The ExportEdge program matches and mentors eligible individuals between the ages of 15-30 who are interested in developing export based careers with companies that need assistance with specific export oriented projects.
Since 1999 the program has been sponsored by the Canadian federal government through Human Resources and Skills Development (HRSD) which has provided $15,000 for the delivery of each 6 month intern placement. A wide variety of projects are eligible and can include both international and domestic based placements.
The program is managed by I|E Canada and delivered with the assistance of Cornerstone International, and www.monkeysuit.ca.
