Project Examples

International Economics (BIE) students are looking for paid and unpaid internships, with a preference for paid experiences. Please indicate in your project submission which you are able to offer. If you are interested in hiring a student as a Virtual Intern, please submit a project to this page indicating what students could work on for your organization. While students' duties may evolve over the course of the internship, we recommend providing a central project which the student can work on semi-independently over the internship period.

  • Financial & Investment Analytics
  • Research & Statistics
  • Junior Economist
  • Policy Research, Analysis & Development

A representative of the company will be available to answer questions from students in a timely manner for the duration of the project.

Be available for a quick phone call with the Vancouver School of Economics Career Centre to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the International Economics students, and also to check-in midway, and upon completion.

A representative of the company will be available for a pre-selection discussion with the administrator of the internship program to review the project scope.

For placements that are paid, a suggested minimum stipend is $2400 CAD.

Please indicate whether this is a paid or an unpaid internship opportunity.
