The CIRI Foundation’s (TCF) Internship Program supports individuals in obtaining temporary, supervised, on-the-job training to develop employment skills and gain practical work experience.  Internships combine formal education with practical work experience to improve the prospects for permanent employment.  Each internship experience is unique and adapted to the applicant’s area of interest and specific career goals.

The program is designed to financially support an internship placement that has been preliminarily obtained by the applicant. The program does not place interns with organizations, but works to support the individual’s internship by matching a portion of the intern’s salary (normally 50% of an entry level position salary, per contract).

Applicants are encouraged to contact a TCF Team Member before submitting an application to discuss further details. There are four deadlines for internship applicants. This program requires a paper application. Applications must be received on or before the deadline.
