Young Canada Works Program
The Canadian Museums Association (CMA) is a proud delivery organization for the Young Canada Works (YCW) program. YCW provides funding to employers to create jobs for students and internships for graduates, all while bolstering the capacity of museums and heritage institutions. Our work on YCW supports our strategic objective to strengthen the museum workforce today and for the future.
This page is for museums that want to offer a summer job or internship experience, as well as for talented young people who are eager to gain experience in the heritage sector.
