What it does
Since 1997, NRCan has contributed to the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS) through the Science and Technology Internship Program (STIP) – Green Jobs, which provides funding to employers to hire, train, and mentor youth between the ages of 15-30 in the natural resources sector, including energy, forestry, mining, earth sciences, and clean technology. By working with third-party organizations, the Program provides funding to employers across Canada to build a diverse and qualified workforce in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and other related fields.
