The internship: a gateway into the labour market
Completing an internship may not always be a requirement for graduation, however, it can open up a world of possibilities. In addition to providing a glimpse into the daily life of a profession, improving one's profile for a future job search and clarifying a career choice, an internship can help guide the completion of one's studies and acquire key knowledge and interpersonal skills. In other words, it is a perfect opportunity to confront one's perception of the working world with reality!
Where do I start?
Starting the process to find an internship can be overwhelming if you don't have the right support. At HR Practices, our mission is to help Quebec businesses welcome you during your internship so that you have the best possible experience.
This way, before you enter the working world, you can prepare yourself to ensure that your experience lives up to your expectations and ambitions.
Here are a few key steps:
Internships are an experience for everyone
Some target groups (women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, persons with disabilities, people of Aboriginal origin, newcomers or first-year students) may be concerned about their place in the labour market. The fact that they are from an under-represented group in the labour market should not be an obstacle to their success. That is why HR Practices, in partnership with AXTRA, the alliance of employment counselling centers, offers free additional support to companies and interns from these target groups, before and during the internship, all to facilitate their integration and offering them a successful experience.
