The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada believes that Asia competence—the knowledge, skills, and experiences required for effective engagement with Asia—is the foundation of a strong and thriving Canada-Asia relationship. APF Canada's Asia Connect program supports Canadian youth in building their own Asia competence through valuable work experience in Asia.
We are forming partnerships with the private sector and Canadian post-secondary institutions to create new internship opportunities in key Asian markets. In addition, we are identifying ways to support former interns in connecting with Asia-engaged professional and business networks in both Canada and Asia.
