The Intern Agency

A NEW internship website aimed at connecting ambitious interns with hundreds of companies across Canada has been launched. The Intern Agency (TIA) will empower both businesses and students by helping them take more control of their futures. TIA has soft launched in Canada and plans to expand its online presence worldwide later this year. Companies can choose from a variety of educational backgrounds, as many interns registered with TIA study at the leading universities and colleges throughout the country. TIA’s advanced search functions allow businesses to browse by specific skill sets, educational background, experience and verified references. Should an intern and employer be a good organizational fit, the result could be a rewarding job for the intern and minimized recruiting time and training costs for the employer. Internships offer valuable experience for students and also give them a competitive edge in the job market. They can also help students decide if their chosen career path is the right one, while breaking the cycle of “no experience, no job. No job, no experience”. TIA is looking to further Canada’s economic growth and ensure that the next generation of workers have the necessary skills for a 21st century global economy. Companies and students alike can evolve together and help create a more educated society and a richer culture.
