New science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduates hoping to gain practical work experience in the green economy can rejoice. BioTalent Canada announced today that Environment and Climate Change Canada has renewed its financial support of the Science Horizons Youth Internship Program. Science Horizons provides green economy biotech employers with wage subsidies to hire these new grads. “The Science Horizons wage subsidy has been a successful program over the past two years, and we’re excited to replicate that success in 2020-21,” says Rob Henderson, President and CEO of BioTalent Canada. “This is a continued opportunity for us to help infuse the green economy with the young talent it needs to maintain its rapid growth as one of Canada’s emerging biotech sub-sectors.”
