The McEwen Family Internship Program (for undergraduate students) at Macdonald Campus is a flexible program. We leave it up to the student to secure their own internship, so long as it is relevant to your studies and is a minimum of 10 weeks in duration. The internship officer will provide the necessary resources to help students find available opportunities. To get started in your research, you can request access to the industry database, research on your own for available internships, browse through myfuture, or gain inspiration by looking at past student interns.

1. You must be a full-time undergraduate student in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
2. You must have a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.7 or higher
3. Your placement must be for a minimum of 10 weeks, minimum at full-time (35h/week) or equivalent.
4. Your internship must be relevant to your field of academic study.

The best way to get started is by doing some research on the kinds of internships available and what interests you the most.

1. Consult this website to get more information
2. Be sure to check out what past interns have done for ideas/inspiration: Meet the Interns
3. Access to the industry database here.听

6. Be sure to do your own research and look into organizations that interest you. Then try making contact and inquire about opportunities within their enterprise. Send your resume and highlight specific attributes about yourself that would give you an advantage over the rest of possible candidates. Prepare yourself and read all you can about the company and any projects they might be involved with. Internships are competitive ventures; you want to ensure you have done your homework.
7. Network, network, network! Speak to your professors, your classmates, your friends, your parents about jobs or internship opportunities. Go to career fairs, info sessions, workshops or events related to your career development 鈥� you never know who you will meet and help you in finding the right job for you!

Once you secure an internship, email the Internship Officer to finalize all the paperwork and register for either FAES 200/201 or 300/301 course.

The FAES 200/201 course is a no credit course, which means at the end of your internship you will receive a pass/fail. If you register for the FAES 200 course, your pass/fail grade will be evaluated on the following:

• Journals (written on the 15th and 30th/31st of every month during your internship, with a video option)
• Poster (created on a PPT, at the end of the internship outlining your experience)
• Final Paper (submitted at the end of the internship)
• Poster Presentation

The FAES 300/301 course is a credited course, (3 credits) and upon completion of your internship you will receive a final grade on your transcript. If you register for the FAES 300 course, you will be evaluated on the following:

• Personal Statement
• Midterm report (Submitted at the half way point of the internship)
• Poster and Presentation (you will be asked to present your internship experience)
• Video
• Poster Presentation (in September)
• Supervisor Evaluations (your internship supervisor will be asked to complete evaluations of your work)

Information for Engineering Students

According to the document 鈥樷��, students may receive an experience credit for up to four months for engineering-related experience (such as an internship) acquired during the second half of their program of study.

Please consult the web site for more information.

For students in B Eng (Bioresource) who would like to use the FAES 300/301 internship course to count towards their Set D course make sure that your internship:

1. Is overseen by a registered engineer
2. Involves engineering design of some kind, and
3. Is approved by a Program Advisor.

Since internships are done in the summer (May-August), most students start looking for positions in January/Feb, and register in one of the FAES courses (once they receive a job offer) by March/April. You can start your internship search as early as the September prior to the summer if you wish, and the Internship officer will be happy to help you.

International Travel Registry
All students participating in a University-related international activity (i.e., bilateral exchange, internship, independent study-away, graduate work or other activity) are required to register their travel on Minerva. The registry collects information about itineraries, host organization contact information, emergency contact information, travel documentation, insurance, vaccinations, etc.

平特五不中 monitors all University-related travel on the registry. Interns must register their travel outside of Montr茅al on the 平特五不中 travel registry as well as with DFAIT on the (ROCA).

When do I complete a TRAVEL REGISTRY Form?
If you are going on an internship that will take you outside of Canada, please contact the mehek.mehta [at] mcgill.ca (Internship Office) (MS2-082) and further information will be provided.

Once the Travel Registry is created by the Internship Officer, it can be found in Minerva under the Student Records Menu. When your form is ready for you to complete, you will receive a notice by email linking you directly to the form.

Convention de stage 鈥� Documentation for Internships in France or with a French organization outside of France

The Convention de Stage is an internship agreement between the intern, 平特五不中 and the intern's host organization.

Please advise the Internship Office in advance if you require a convention de stage and ensure that you are registered in the FAES Internship Program for the duration of your internship. Students must also be returning to their studies following their internship.听

In order for the Convention to be completed, the following must be handed in to the Internship Office, either by email or in person:

1. Letter of confirmation from the host organization
2. A completed Contact Information Form

Once the information for the Convention de stage has been compiled, a Travel Registry form will be created on Minerva, in which the student must log on to complete. Only once this form is completed, will the student be able to pick up their Convention de stage paperwork.

Four copies of the Convention will be printed on letterhead. All four will be signed by the student and the Internship Officer. One will be retained by the Internship Office, and the other three will be given to the student.

The student and the student鈥檚 internship supervisor must sign the three copies of the Convention. One will be retained by the host organization, one by the student, and the third must be mailed back to the Internship Office within five days after the internship begins.

It has been brought to our attention that for-profit 鈥渧oluntourism鈥� companies have been actively recruiting students. While students are free to take such tours at their own expense, this is not something that 平特五不中 can implicitly endorse by providing these firms a platform for selling their tours. For this reason, the McEwen Family Internship Office prepares students as much as possible to go with the proper mindset and help ensure that the organizations they work with are both appropriate and willing recipients of our tremendously motivated students. Aside from the fact that such tours fall outside of our efforts to ensure a good learning experience for students, the fact that they often generate significant profits by charging our students steep charges is antithetical to the university鈥檚 teaching mission and runs the risk of generating a backlash in host countries that will only make it more difficult for us to find quality internships for our students.

Please note that the McEwen Family Internship Office does not fund for-profit third-party or fee-based organizations which find internships for you.
