The internships are available for post-secondary students, post-doctoral fellows and recent graduates.

Ontario is partnering with Mitacs, a national non-profit organization, to create internships in different fields of work, including law, technology, business, environment and health.

The province says the opportunities will help Ontario's workers and economy recover from the effects of COVID-19.

According to a spokesperson from Ontario's Ministry of Colleges and Universities, the positions will be hired through 2022.

If you'd rather not wait, there are plenty of places in Ontario that are hiring workers with limited experience.
