Internships

The Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) offers two types of internships that provide learning opportunities for the conservation community in Canada and abroad. All interns are involved in the everyday working life at CCI. They actively contribute to both the formulation and implementation of conservation standards, thereby gaining in-depth knowledge of collection needs. They are exposed to a variety of conservation research and treatment projects within the interdisciplinary environment of CCI. They have access to the CCI library (an invaluable resource tool for conservation research) and also have the opportunity to attend practice talks and conferences.

Types of Internships

Paid Post-Graduate Internships - Temporarily suspended. Please check back for updates.
These are one-year internships for Canadian citizens or landed immigrants who have recently (within the last 5 years) completed a degree program from a recognized university or a two-year diploma program from a recognized post-secondary college in a specialization related to conservation.

Unpaid Internships
These internships can range in duration from six weeks to one year, and are open to individuals from all countries (note that preference will be given to Canadian citizens and landed immigrants). Applicants can be currently enrolled in post-secondary programming leading to a diploma or degree in conservation, science, or a relevant field or have completed appropriate studies within the last five years.
