The Gradworks Intern Development Program is designed to provide recent post-secondary graduates with challenging and career-focused positions. Saskatchewan Crown Corporations are the first employers to host Gradworks Internships but in the future we anticipate expanding to include private sector employers and government departments. These full-time internship positions of 12 months in length are intended to allow recent post-secondary graduates the opportunity to gain experience and to develop specific career-related skills.

Our goals:

Provide recent graduates with Saskatchewan career opportunities.
Increase retention of young people in Saskatchewan.
Develop potential future employees for Saskatchewan employers.
Develop current employees through their participation as coaches/mentors to interns.
Support Saskatchewan's Crown Corporations in their role as "Employers of Choice".
The Gradworks program supports the values of workplace diversity and employment equity and encourages applications from people of Aboriginal ancestry, persons with a disability, members of a visible minority and women in non-traditional areas.

What is an internship?

Internships are training and learning opportunities designed to allow new graduates the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge to the workplace.
In today's job market, most positions require previous full-time experience, so an internship position would give you a chance to "get your foot in the door" and gain valuable experience that will help you to launch your career.
Internships introduce the graduate to the corporate world allowing them to learn the skills necessary to be successful.
Interns get one-on-one guidance from coaches who know their professions, their organizations and how to get ahead in a career.
Through networking, internships bring graduates into contact with people who can help turn their career plans into reality.
