If you’re a current a doctoral student or doctoral candidate, consider exploring challenges beyond your degree program by enrolling in the Graduate Student Internship Program (GSIP).
Your advanced skills in communication, collaboration, and problem solving are incredibly valuable to employers looking to hire Western graduate students. Internships are meaningful, full-time, paid work experiences, where you can connect theory with practice, build your network, and lay the foundation to launch your career at full speed!
The Graduate Student Internship Program is for all Western doctoral students in programs that do not include a mandatory internship, co-op, practicum, or placement component. Internships are four, eight, or 12 months long, and ideally start at the beginning of any academic term.
To be eligible to participate, you must be registered as a part- or full-time PhD student at the time of application. You must also be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. International students are not eligible to participate at this time. Finally, we ask that you confirm with your thesis supervisor or graduate chair that you are in good academic standing and meet the graduate program conditions for progression toward your degree. Support from supervisors is essential as you’ll be required to take a leave of absence from your studies.
