| The Agricultural Youth Green Jobs Initiative will help fund internships for post-secondary graduates interested in working in the agriculture industry.
Internships must incorporate activities that are environmentally beneficial, at least four months in length and be completed by March 31, 2017.
Applications are now being accepted and considered on a first-come, first-served basis until all funds have been allocated. Candidates must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents, 30 years old or younger.
For detailed information on the program including how to apply, please visit: www.canada.ca/agriculture-green-jobs.
Funding for the program is available through two streams:
Stream A – Green Farms: farm operators can apply for matching funding, to a maximum of $10,000, to hire a Canadian post-secondary graduate to implement projects that are environmentally beneficial.
Stream B – Green Internships: employers (for profit and non-profit groups) who work in the agricultural sector but not directly on farm. These employers can apply for matching funding, to a maximum of $16,000, to hire a Canadian post-secondary graduate to undertake environmental activities, services or research that will benefit the agriculture sector. |
