The GPCYP is launching its inaugural Internship Program in September 2022, designed to educate young industry newcomers on pulses for a sustainable planet.
The GPC Young Professionals Internship program will be launched in Canada before the Canadian Special Crops Association (CSCA) and is supported by Pulse Canada and the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) as well as pulse processors across the most important producing regions.
Join our Mission to educate the world - specifically our future generations - on pulses, the different growing regions and their unique attributes and challenges. Together, different pulse-growing countries can engage in this universal educational program to exchange and share experiences on agronomy, pulse-protein innovation, nutritional education in youth and Ag-tech.
The GPC Young Professional Internship is the perfect way to enhance your journey as a member of the Global Pulse Confederation. Providing the opportunity to meet stakeholders across the entire value chain, it's a great way to deepen your involvement in the GPC community.
