Believe me. We've been there. And now we're seeing first hand how much talent is out there.

Our internship program is great -- but its miniscule. We take six people each year on a trimester system. But we have well over one hundred qualified applicants. It's driving us crazy and we wish we could handle and afford to bring more people on board. Someday we will, but right now we can't.

The bottom line is that current students and recent graduates want to find a way to start a career in public policy. But across Canada there are surprisingly few placements.

This summer we asked Megha Wadwani, a talented student at the University of Toronto, to compile a list of the internships that do exist. She's done a great job but we won't pretend that we've got them all. We're starting with these fifty and cross posting them with our friends at the School of Public Policy and Governance at UofT.

If you want to add a program to this list or update any information, follow the template below and email us the details.

We really wish we could do more but we hope this helps!
