What is an Eligible Green Job?
Eligible jobs are in the natural resources sector, including energy, forestry, mining and critical minerals, earth sciences, and clean technology. A green job aims to protect the environment or delivers positive environmental outcomes.
This may include:
- professions that require environmental skills, knowledge, experience, or competencies to produce products or deliver services (e.g., architects and land use planners who incorporate sustainability into designs, air quality engineers, and scientific technicians),
- professions that may not require direct environmental skills (e.g., construction or trades workers that apply knowledge of standard construction techniques while completing green projects, manufacturing production workers, and companies that produce environmental goods), or
- Professions that support organizations in the natural resources sector (e.g., communications, marketing, administration, project management, engagement, sales, and business analysis)
Priority will be given to positions in Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Labrador, and other remote communities
*Wage support covers up to 75% of wages, benefits and mandatory employer costs for youth interns. Approved training may also be supported at 100%. Total support for wages and training can be up to $25,500 per intern, based on program criteria.
