SLP participants are expected to attend the week-long virtual training at the start of the program, regularly scheduled virtual training sessions and workshops, and virtual guest speaker seminars. These sessions will feature inspiring and educational talks from prominent political leaders sharing their stories, expertise and advice. This is also an opportunity for SLP participants to ask questions and interact with Ministers, Members of Parliament, senior staff in government and fellow interns. Virtual sessions are scheduled throughout the work week, and we do our best to accommodate the requirements of your office, the intern’s responsibilities and their learning experience.
