Internships

Investissement Québec - CRIQ has created a student support program to encourage students and professionals to carry out applied research in Québec. The program stresses the importance Investissement Québec - CRIQ gives to knowledge transfers and shows that getting students and renowned experts working together as a team is all part of Investissement Québec - CRIQ  culture. Interns gain outstanding experience working alongside leading experts in their field.

Paid and unpaid internships for college and undergraduate students

Are you a student who is looking for a paid or unpaid internship? Investissement Québec - CRIQ offers internships that give college and university students academic credits. Internships are not restricted to technical fields and can cover other areas, such as communications, law, and human resource management.

Paid undergraduate internships

Most bursaries are awarded to undergraduate student interns who are eligible for financial support from a recognized granting agency. The amount awarded to each student is based on the current Investissement Québec - CRIQ wage schedule and takes into account any amounts awarded by the granting agency. Internships normally run for around 16 consecutive weeks.
