Some of the more interesting employment opportunities we've spotted this week include:

For all the digital natives out there, Telus is seeking a
product manager to oversee the company's adherence to online and digital best practices.This individual will be responsible for ensuring all of the company's customer-facing software is intuitive, elegant and easy to use. Three to five years of experience working with a digital firm is a must—though other qualifications, like having done a bootcamp through HackerYou, will be considered an asset, so there's that.
Normally we try to avoid posting about internships here, but this week brings with it a set that look worthwhile (read: they actually pay). MaRS is currently accepting applications for its summer internship program. University students can apply to work for one of the organization's many departments, including its
Solutions Lab and its
business acceleration program. The internships run from May 4 to August 21. Applications are due February 16. Check out
MaRS's careers website for the full list of internships.
Those between the ages of 18 and 30 will also want to check out the
Studio [Y] program at MaRS. This intensive, nine month fellowship puts 25 individuals through a comprehensive curriculum on so-called 21
st century skills. Participants are taught things like critical and entrepreneurial thinking, and are then asked to apply those skills while working on projects with real-world partners. The program provides its fellows with a $20,000 stipend so that access is not an issue. Check out the
Studio [Y] website to learn more about this groundbreaking program and to find out what's required to apply. Applications are being accepted until March 16.
