InternSHIFT is a podcast hosted by Career Edge that aims to shift the way people think about internships. 

For our very first episode, we dove into our newest paid internship program for Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Reservists. Speaking with Lieutenant Colonel Derek Cheff, Executive Director at the Canadian Forces Liaison Council, along with our internal CAF team, listeners will get a deep understanding of the program, and how it supports the Canadian Forces as a whole, subsequently building employers’ military-friendly recruitment strategies and national pride. 

In this podcast, LtCol Cheff mentions the ExecuTrek Program; for more information about this program and CFLC, visit http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/business-reservist-support/index.page

Career Edge InternSHIFT Podcast - Episode 1

For this episode of InternSHIFT, we take a look at Generation Y from a few different angles. Why? Well, GenY grads have developed a bit of an image problem as lazy, entitled, tech addicts. We invited a few subject matter experts to analyze the Millenial reputation, while speaking about the skills and benefits that new grads DO bring to the workforce, and the ways employers can unlock talents that are often overshadowed by negative stereotypes.

Our first guest is Lisa Leitch; to learn more about Lisa's subject matter expertise about attracting, retaining, and engaging Millenials, check out the Teneo Results blog at http://teneoresults.com/the-top-5-things-employers-must-know-about-millennials/

Our second guest is R. Brian Robson from Ryerson's ADaPT program. Learn more about how ADaPT is preparing new grads for today's digital economy by visiting http://www.ryerson.ca/research/adapt/
