Bursary Program with the Manitoba Government

The Province of Manitoba’s Health Protection Unit is currently undergoing a recruitment drive to attract students to the field of Public Health Inspections.  Manitoba Health Inspectors are an integral part of the public health team and enforce a variety of Public Health legislation. Public Health Inspectors work in the following areas:

  • Food safety
  • Drinking water safety
  • Recreational water safety
  • Care facilities
  • Food safety and sanitation requirements at special events and festivals
  • Communicable disease control
  • Emergency response team
  • Smoking and vaping in enclosed public settings
  • Air quality
  • Health promotion
  • Health hazard management

As part of Government’s strategic plan to address the vacancy  and retention issue of our skilled workforce, they have created a Public Health Inspector Bursary program and offering it to Manitoba university students with a science background.  Students who maybe interested in this career path and willing to go outside of the province to obtain their degree in Environmental Health, namely to Concordia University in Edmonton Alberta, are encouraged to apply here https://jobsearch.gov.mb.ca/search. The bursary covers the cost of the program and the cost of housing for the student while away.  The student upon return to Manitoba will be guaranteed a full time position with Manitoba Health Seniors and Long-Term Care.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could inform your students about this opportunity and post the information on your career website.  A copy of the bursary posting is attached.

For more information about the career of Public Health Inspections, please visit the Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors website at www.ciphi.ca.
