The Atlantic Council for International Cooperation is currently recruiting candidates for its 2010 International Youth Internship Program (IYIP) thanks to a one-year agreement with the Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA).
The 20 successful candidates will take up work placements this November in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Tanzania, the Gambia, Bhutan, the Philippines and India. The interns first work with ACIC member organizations based in Charlottetown, Fredericton, St. John's and Halifax starting in September. The interns receive a stipend for their work and costs related to overseas travel, language development and professional development training are provided.
