The agency says it's looking for "students who thrive on tackling diverse challenges in a unique environment."

If this sounds like you, CSIS promises the opportunity to gain valuable experience in the field you've applied for, as well as the chance to "broaden [your] knowledge and experience before choosing a career specialization."

Different roles have various requirements, but applicants must be enrolled in relevant undergraduate degree or college diploma programs. While previous experience is not generally required for CSIS student jobs, preference may be given to candidates who have prior experience in a relevant field.
