SLP's give young people across the country vital job experience serving in the offices of your Member of Parliament, Ministers, the Prime Minister's Office and the Liberal Research Bureau. If you are interested in applying, you will be employed by Jonathan Wilkinson's constituency office and split your time between Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and North Vancouver. 

The position is a full- time, sixteen- week paid internship. Employment commences on May 6, 2024 and ends on August 23rd, 2024, based on a standard 37.5 hour work week. It is a comprehensive and intensive experience. 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. All program participants are expected to be in attendance at all program events.
