The PEI Public Service Commission is committed to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility. Our goal is to build a public sector workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve and to promote welcoming, diverse, inclusive, respectful workplaces that are accessible to all. We welcome all interested individuals including Indigenous People, persons with disabilities, Black, racialized, ethnic and culturally diverse groups, as well as people regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identities, and gender expressions. Those looking for more information are invited to visit our Diversity & Inclusion Policy. The main purpose of the Program Officer Intern is to meet with clients (individuals, employers, and industry and non-government organizations) to identify and support workforce needs and requirements. The Program Officer Intern is instrumental in promoting the programs available, the processes involved and criteria of eligibility to stakeholders, community organizations, individuals and local businesses.  The Program Officer Intern is responsible to administer agreements through the various stages of the program life cycle, from development and assessment of applications through to recommendation and agreement signing.  Once the agreement is in place, the Intern is the liaison with the applicant and the sponsor organization or training provider, monitoring agreement process and supporting parties through any area of concern, processing payments and closing the file. Entities with available positions include the Department of Workforce, Advanced Learning, and Population, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.
