Career Edge
is a national, not-for-profit organization whose mandate is to enhance youth employability.
The program is aimed at graduates of university, college and high school who have finished their education but who lack career-related work experience. By completing a six-, nine-, or twelve-month paid internship in one of the program's Host Organizations, the Interns gain the skills and experience they need to become more marketable in the workplace. Participating Host Organizations offer Interns on-the-job learning, coaching from an experienced employee, and networking and training opportunities. At the same time, the Host Organizations benefit by gaining fresh ideas from bright, talented and committed graduates.
