CPJ has a long history of engaging students and recent grads in our work through school placements, the Canada Summer Jobs program, and our one-year paid internship. As a small team, students and interns have a great opportunity to make meaningful contributions to the work of CPJ while gaining valuable experience working in public policy research, non-partisan advocacy, and networking with both civil society and government representatives.
