IBAO is so proud to announce that the association has become the lead sponsor of the 2010 Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) at Queen’s Park.
OLIP is a non-partisan, educational internship designed to offer recent university graduates the opportunity to work at Queen’s Park for both a Government Member of Provincial Parliament and an Opposition Member of Provincial Parliament during a ten month placement. During their placement, OLIP interns also have the opportunity to travel to other legislatures around the country and to London, England!
Dr. Henry Jacek, Director of OLIP had this to say about IBAO’s sponsorship:
"The Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) greatly values enthusiastic supporters, like IBAO. As OLIP's new lead sponsor, IBAO will inspire other private sector organizations to support the educational activities of the interns. Without generous sponsors such as IBAO, the interns would not get the career development education that is an integral part of the OLIP Programme. This travel to other legislatures, supported by our sponsors, makes this programme unique among internship programmes."
IBAO's CEO, Randy Carroll couldn't be more proud of the announcement saying, "OLIP is a unique and prestigious programme, offering recent university grads a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with Ontario’s key decision makes. We are excited and so proud about expanding our relationship with OLIP by becoming their lead sponsor for 2010".
