Propel Impact Analyst Program

Recruit some of the most talented, ambitious, and impact-driven young people in Canada.

Curated talent pool.
Most Analysts are coming out of a year-long hands-on Impact Consulting or Impact Investing Fellowship. They've learned and tested the skills you need in your organization.
Save recruitment & admin time.
We'll save you dozens of hours by managing recruitment and the bulk of the hiring process for your organization. Analysts will be employees of Propel Impact, and will be put on our payroll.
Meet your next full-time hire.
We're proud to say that 83% of our 46 previous partner organizations have retained Propel Impact talent after the internship period ended.

The Details

Overview

Key Details: The internship dates are September 8 to December 12, 2025 (14 weeks). Partners can be matched with up to four Analysts.

Analyst Commitment: You can choose to hire full-time Analysts (35 hours/week) or part-time Analysts (20 hours/week) in Fall 2025. Analysts will spend 90% of their time working with your team.

Analyst Backgrounds: Most Analysts will be recruited from our pool of trained Propel Impact Fellows, who have completed at least 10 months of training in Propel's Impact Investing and Impact Consulting Fellowships. As post-secondary students or young people in the early stages of their careers, they come with a range of skills ranging from due diligence to sectoral research, and all are familiar with the Canadian social innovation & social finance sector. External candidates will be recruited as needed.

Recruitment Support that Saves You Time: Our Propel Impact team drafts your job descriptions, manages written and video application submissions, and coordinates the interview process, saving your team dozens of hours. You will have access to our anti-biased recruitment resources when interviewing candidates. Organizations make the final decision on which candidates receive an offer.

Internship Program Management: Propel Impact convenes all Analysts on a weekly basis for cohort-wide team meetings, a speaker series, and mentorship opportunities. We focus on delivering an exceptional experience for Analysts so you can prioritize getting them involved in your pressing work. In addition, all Analysts are put on Propel's payroll to save you admin time.

Testimonials

“Our organization welcomed three great Propel Impact Analysts to our team this summer. Their contributions were skilled and insightful. While they arrived with skills that immediately added value and efficiencies to our workload, we also benefited from their perspectives, opinions and vision for the future.”

“It is such a pleasure to be a host organization for the Propel Impact Analyst Program. The team is great and over the past summers, the Analysts we worked with have provided such value in regard to their passion, perspectives, and work ethic. We have offered both Analysts the opportunity to continue working with us and we look forward to being apart of the program again."

FAQ

How does the recruitment process work?
Propel Impact is simultaneously recruiting candidates to apply to the Analyst Program as a whole. We will share a shortlist of top candidates for your needs with you in July 2025.
How will we find our candidates?
Current and previous Propel Impact Fellows (i.e. those who have completed training in either impact consulting or impact investing) are first in line once internship opportunities are posted. We will open up a select number of opportunities to external candidates as well, to ensure that we are making this program accessible to a wider community.
Can we hire more than one Analyst?
Yes. We encourage partners to hire Analysts in pairs at a minimum - it provides a much stronger learning and work experience for them when they have a peer. However, if management capacity is limited, we completely understand and do consider organizations that can only hire one Analyst at a time.
What is the cost for employer organizations?
Analysts are paid $22/hour + 11% in mandatory-employment related costs (MERCs) for their internship, resulting in direct employment costs:

$12,000 for full-time Analysts
$6,900 for part-time Analysts


There are three different pricing tiers described under "Organization Eligibility" above.
