IPAC’S PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS PROGRAM

SUPPORTING INDIGENOUS YOUTH

If you are an Indigenous youth aged 17 – 29, you can apply to our 2022 Pathways to Success program, aimed to match Indigenous youth with internship and work opportunities, launching in Toronto, Edmonton and Winnipeg.

Once applications are received, Pathways Coordinators will endeavor to match participants with employers based on desired field of work, employer requests and location.

As with any internship and summer work position, the employer is asked to mentor, and educate participants about role expectations. Additionally, Pathways to Success also provides the employers with a contact person and direct accessible participant outreach support Ambassadors, as well as full financial support for participant wages. Employers are expected to participate in hiring activities and events, including the Pathways to Success Youth Summit.

There are up to 10 paid opportunities in each region (Edmonton, Winnipeg and Toronto) annually, though we endeavor to provide additional assistance (i.e. provide connections for additional candidates and employers) to as many candidates as we are able. We are also able to focus beyond the aforementioned cities if remote work is a possibility.

These are 4 month placements, which can start at any time.
