Internships

Jump start your career

Developing future management talent is essential to keep up with a growing neurotechnology cluster ecosystem in Ontario. We are ensuring a talent pool of highly qualified personnel (HQPs) is ready to support and lead the ecosystem by offering experiential learning opportunities for post-graduates. Interns gain ‘beyond the bench’ management and leadership skills and work experiences to help them launch their careers in the highly competitive innovation ecosystem.

We offer paid internships within OBI. Interns will gain hands-on experience and support each of the OBI teams in running their programs.

Past interns boast a success rate of over 80% in gaining full-time employment within six-months following the internship
