About Us
The Hire Intern Program is the IT training and internship division of WISH Vancouver Recruit. We created this program in 2006 to meet the demand for internships from New Canadians.
Numerous reports have shown that New Canadians face higher levels of poverty, unemployment and underemployment than other citizens. We have annecdotal evidence of skilled and experienced IT professionals working as butchers, or convenience store clerks. We want to change that.
We have dedicated staff in Vancouver, Toronto and overseas, working on training , internship placement, and job placement for New Canadians. Here are some of our staff:
