General
Ce projet fait partie du Programme de stages internationaux pour les jeunes (PSIJ) d’Affaires mondiales Canada financé par la Stratégie emploi jeunesse du gouvernement du Canada. Le PSIJ vise à offrir aux jeunes de 18 à 30 ans, vivant au Canada, en particulier, ceux et celles faisant face à des obstacles à l’emploi, l’opportunité d'acquérir une expérience professionnelle en développement international. Ce stage international vise à offrir une expérience internationale aux jeunes Noirs, aux personnes non binaires et aux jeunes d'autres genres avec un accent sur les femmes Noires. Empowerment Squared offrira 100 stages de huit mois chacun, axés sur la recherche éducative visant à renforcer l'autonomie des femmes et la croissance inclusive, ainsi que sur l'atténuation du changement climatique, l'adaptation et la recherche environnementale. Grâce au développement des compétences professionnelles et à l'expérience acquise en participant à des stages en développement international en Afrique subsaharienne, le projet vise à renforcer les droits à l'emploi des jeunes ciblés.
This project is part of Global Affairs Canada’s International Youth Internship Program (IYIP), funded by the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy. The IYIP aims to provide youth aged 18 to 30, living in Canada, particularly those facing employment barriers, with the opportunity to gain professional experience in international development. This African Youth International Internship seeks to provide international experience to Black youth, non-binary, and other gender youth, with a priority focus on Black women. Empowerment Squared will offer 100 placements of eight months each focusing on gender-empowering educational research and inclusive growth, as well as climate change mitigation, adaptation and environmental research. Through the transformative professional skills development and experience gained while participating in international development internships in the Sub-Saharan African, the project aims to enhance employment rights of the targeted youth.
