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 in the natural resources sector, including in energy, forest, mining, earth science, and clean technology.
