On August 23, 2019, Newfoundland and Labrador announced the province will spend nearly $415,000 to extend two pilot employment programs for international students and graduates: “The Student Internship Pilot Program" and “My First Job in Newfoundland and Labrador Pilot Program". The Student Internship Pilot Program connects full-time international students with local businesses for a full-time 12-week or part-time 21-week internship in their field of study. The My First Job in Newfoundland and Labrador Pilot Program allows international graduates from Memorial University or College of the North Atlantic to work for local employers for a 16-week placement in their field of study.
