Urbis Internship Opportunity: Supporting the Next Generation of Engagement Professionals

Urbis is inviting students from across the Young Practitioners Network to apply for its paid Engagement Student Internship Program—a unique opportunity to gain real-world experience in Stakeholder and Community Engagement while completing university studies.
