IWRM Program Â鶹AV - IWRM Course Internship Opportunities

Internships

The 13-credit internship is a central feature of this Master’s program. The internship may be done in collaboration with a former employer or other contact the student may have. Alternatively, the internship coordinator will aid the student in finding an internship. The internship requires a student to work with, for example, a consulting firm or other government or NGO organization. Students are supervised by both the host organization and an academic supervisor from Â鶹AV. The related 6-credit project research paper takes the internship work and explores it in a more holistic manner.

These internships may be either paid or unpaid, and are available globally. To date, students have completed internships all over the world at organizations such as:

  • Watershed organizations (e.g. Du Chene Watershed Organization)
  • NGOs (Winrock International)
  • Water utilities (e.g., City of Montreal)
  • Water resources engineering consulting firms (e.g. CH2M-HILL, SNC-Lavalin)
  • Universities (e.g., Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research at Ben-Gurion University)
  • Provincial and federal government agencies (e.g., International Joint Commission, Environment Canada)
  • International institutions (UNESCO)
