Now accepting applications for Young Canada Works graduate internship program

One of our objectives at the Canadian Museums Association (CMA) is to strengthen the museum workforce today and for the future. We do this in a few ways, including through our delivery of the Young Canada Works (YCW) program. The CMA is currently accepting a second round of YCW-Building Careers in Heritage (BCH) applications until September 29th, aimed at domestic positions that will run from mid-November 2021 until the end of March 2022.

For program details and eligibility criteria, please visit the CMA website’s YCW information pages. We also recommend you consult the Young Canada Works Employer Guide on Canadian Heritage’s website which outlines several YCW program components, so be sure to consult the information provided for “YCW at Building Careers in Heritage.”

Please note the following :

  • Internships funded by this intake period should run from mid-November 2021 until March 31st, 2022, for a minimum of 16 weeks;
  • Applications will be accepted until 11:59 pm on September 29th, 2021;
  • Funding decisions will be announced on or by November 3rd, 2021.
  • As always, applications from Indigenous organizations, applications for projects aimed at Indigenous interns, and applications for projects focusing on Indigenous cultural heritage are encouraged.

NOTE: Due to funding requirements all YCW-BCH internships funded this year must be complete by March 31st, 2021. For internships beginning on April 1st or later, you will need to apply for 2022-23 funding. Please check back in late-Fall for that application period.

Peer Review Committee:

The CMA is also calling for Peer Review Committee volunteers to evaluate applications. If you are a Canadian museum professional (employee, volunteer, or retiree of a Canadian heritage institution) and would like to help us support museums and graduates, click here for further details.

Young Canada Works is generously supported by the Department of Canadian Heritage.
