The Provincial Government is creating more opportunities for Indigenous people and addressing the skilled labour shortage across the North by making the Northern Ontario Internship Program more accessible.
Greg Rickford, Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines and Minister of Indigenous Affairs, announced the government is launching a new Northern Ontario Internship Program.
The Government is removing barriers to participation in the Northern Ontario Internship Program so that more organizations can provide on-the-job career development and address skilled labour shortages.
The program removes the requirement that an applicant be a recent university or college graduate. Ontario is supporting a wider variety of internships, including skilled trades. Program candidates will now include new entrants into the workforce, those transitioning to a new career, the unemployed and underemployed.
