Isabelle Couture: Human Resources and Skills Development Canada

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada: They quickly learned no federal or provincial agency tracks interns. Statistics Canada does not keep data on interns and neither does Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. In Ontario, the category simply doesnt exist, according to The Star. Frankly, the fact that two students researchers are the ones tackling the data collection for this issue something far better suited to our official statistics agency is embarrassing and deserves public attention, Couture said. She and Attfield are working toward a Master of Public Administration from the University of Victoria but are based in Ottawa and When grad students James Attfield and Isabelle Couture wanted to study unpaid interns in Canada, they turned to government. Couture and Attfield, both 28, designed a survey, in conjunction with the Canadian Intern Association, to find out who is doing internships, paid or unpaid, something they say government should know.
