Youth play an important role in shaping the future of Canada’s economy. The Science and Technology Internship Program (STIP) - Green Jobs provides funding to eligible employers across Canada to hire and mentor youth (ages 15-30) in the natural resources sector, including in energy, forestry, mining, earth sciences, and clean technology. The STIP – Green Jobs has been part of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment and Skills Strategy since 1997.

NRCan supports youth and employers by working with third-party organizations to:

  • Kick-start careers in the energy, forestry, mining, earth sciences, and clean technology sectors

  • Create quality and inclusive employment opportunities that improve environmental outcomes in the natural resources sector

  • Build a skilled and diverse workforce

  • Promote inclusion , diversity, equity, and accessibility by targeting 60% participation from employment equity groups
