Ontario is a province in east-central Canada. Ontario Internship Programs (OIP) invest in committed, talented graduates seeking a great opportunity to start and accelerate their careers. Internship placements are available across the province in various ministries and agencies. Candidates can indicate their preferred work locations on their application form. The OIP cannot guarantee the availability of relevant work placements in all cities.
The OIP offers a one-year full-time paid developmental opportunity. The OIP receives approximately 2500 applications each year, hires approximately 100 interns annually. There is no age limit to apply to the OIP program. Applications are submitted through online system.
Interns do not choose their own job placement or ministry. The OIP assigns interns to ministry placements based on a number of factors, including organizational business needs, available focus area assignments and ministry business priorities, as well as interns’ skills, experience and geographic preference.
