This is the fifth year that the program is available to the university’s Indigenous students.

The internship program is an exciting opportunity for Indigenous students to access unique career-related experiences in their field of study.

“The university has a wide range of meaningful work opportunities that we want students to know about, so they consider building a career at the U of M after graduation,” says Carrie Homeniuk, Director, HR Services.

Placements will include the Centre for Human Rights Research, Student Engagement and Success, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Microbiology, to name a few areas.

There will be eight summer placements. The students will be hired to work 35 hours per week from May 9 to August 26.

Anjelica Bodnaryk, 2019 ISSIP participant, notes the program has opened up new opportunities in her career and encourages all qualifying students to apply for the internship.

“One-hundred percent do it! Don’t hesitate. It’s a great experience and it offers you a chance to work in fields that interest you.”

The internship is a great opportunity for U of M Indigenous students to receive valuable experience in their field of study. The program will run for a total of 16 weeks, commencing May 4. Interns will work nine days during every two-week period and participate in a group development day once during that same period.

Fifty per cent of interns’ salary will be reimbursed through human resources, while the host faculties or units are responsible for covering the remaining cost.  

A total of eight internships are available for funding. Seven additional spots will be opened in the program if faculties or units choose to fully fund their own internship.

“We’re excited to be offering the program for a third year,” says Darlene Smith, associate vice-president, human resources.

“It’s great opportunity for Indigenous students to learn about the many career opportunities on campus, while gaining valuable experience in their field of study,” adds Smith.

All faculties and units are invited to submit funding applications no later than Monday, January 27.

Students will be able to find the job postings on UM Careers by Friday, February 14.
