Reminder! Venture for Canada: Intrapreneurship Program Application

The Venture for Canada Intrapreneurship Program is an alternative way of gaining virtual, paid work experience. Contribute to innovating a small business by working on a 7-week, part-time project.

A Flexible Approach – Build towards your entrepreneurial future by gaining experience on your own time. Design your work schedule to complete the project you select over 7-weeks, so you’ll still have time for school, part-time jobs or extracurriculars.

Paid Experience for Your Resume – Build your resume with professional experience and get paid for it. Put your skills to work and test and develop new ones while supporting a real-world project. All disciplines welcome.

An Insider Look – Get a lay of the entrepreneurial land without committing to a job. You’ll gain insights into small and medium businesses and network with employers for future opportunities.

Program Features – Meet the project-based program designed to show students that paid work experience, network connections and career clarity doesn’t just come from a job.

What You’ll Do:

• Solve innovative projects for small businesses and organizations virtually
• Work in groups of 2-5 students, in interdisciplinary teams
• Get paid $22.00 per hour (as of July 2023), plus a $225 Development Fund to boost your productivity and experience
• Complete 60 hours of project work over 7 weeks (~8-9 hours per week)
• Network with your project’s organization
• Access professional development resources to support your project work and future careers.

Let’s get started! New projects begin every two months. The next project cohort is September 2023. Learn more and apply on the Venture for Canada website.

The deadline to apply is August 11, 2023.
