"I completely value my experience with the Indigenous Student Internship Program. I am very grateful for this opportunity, as I was able to build strong personal and professional relationships, strengthen my Usask competencies, and engage in Indigenous cultural workshops. I am grateful that my placement allowed me to live in Fond Du Lac for a month, where I was immersed in the school, community, and Dene culture. ISIP has provided me with a wealth of knowledge that I will apply throughout my academics and career. "

-Bachelor of Psychology, 3rd Year 

"It allowed me to have a successful future and an opportunity that I am very grateful for. It gave me stability and reassurance. I want to make sure I can offer that same opportunity for other Indigenous students in the future."

-College of Arts and Science, 4th Year 

" ISIP was extremely beneficial to my early working career, as the program aligned with important practices employers are seeking in the work industry. Being able to work at Seabee Gold Mine under the program was such an eye opening opportunity for me to extend my career choices in the future. Before the program, I never thought of working inside a mine, but after I really can't picture myself any other industry than mining!"
