Introducing the 2019 Code for Canada Fellowship
As a Code for Canada fellow, you’ll bring your technology and design skills into government, tackle a complex challenge and deliver impact at scale. You’ll meet incredible people, advance your career and have fun along the way.
The next Code for Canada fellowship begins today! We’re recruiting full-stack developers, UX designers and product managers who want to use their skills for good, and help governments across the country deliver better digital services.
Services that help people. Services that make it easy for residents to engage with government. Services that put users first. And services that demonstrate what’s possible when government embraces methods like agile development, iteration and human-centred design.
As a Code for Canada fellow, you’ll spend 10 months (from May 2019 to March 2020) embedded inside government, working shoulder to shoulder with public servants on an exciting project.
Start your fellowship journey at codefor.ca/apply. We’re accepting applications on a rolling basis until Feb. 8, 2019 at 1 p.m. EDT.
2019 Fellowship Challenges
We’re incredibly excited about the government partners participating in the 2019 fellowship, and by the projects they’re bringing to the table. We’re expanding to four teams — our largest cohort yet — and with a placement opportunity in Calgary, the fellowship is making its first foray into Western Canada.
Fellows working with the Public Health Agency of Canada in Ottawa will help modernize the department’s granting process, creating a better experience for users and enabling PHAC’s partners to focus on improving health outcomes in their communities rather than filling out forms.
Fellows working with Toronto’s Shelter Support and Housing Administration will design digital solutions that help city staff find stable, permanent housing for residents experiencing homelessness.
Fellows working with the National Energy Board in Calgary will help make data about important energy projects more accessible for Canadians, so that scientists, landowners and Indigenous communities can fully participate in our national energy dialogue.
Fellows working with Public Services and Procurement Canada in Ottawa will help reimagine the government travel experience, so public servants can spend less time booking and expensing travel and more time helping residents.

If you want to use your technology and design skills for positive impact, flex your skills on a cross-functional team and improve the way government works from the inside out, then apply to become a Code for Canada fellow today.
