Through Budget 2016, the government invested $1.5 million in new funding for Young Canada Works at Building Careers in Heritage programming to create 150 additional internships for young graduates in 2016-2017, multiplying by five the number of Young Canada Works internships for youth in heritage organizations in Canada. Through Budget 2017, the government is further investing $14.05 million over three years in Young Canada Works-Heritage programming. These new funds enabled the creation of 1,508 more jobs for Canadian youth in Canadian museums and related heritage organizations: 1,038 summer/short-term jobs through YCW in Heritage Organizations and 470 graduate internships through YCW at Building Careers in Heritage.
