On February 16, 2005, CIC announced that it had established a program called Gradworks to provide recent post-secondary graduates with internships in the CIC Crown corporations.

The program is intended for those who have little or no work experience. The purpose is twofold: to provide educated young people with job opportunities in Saskatchewan, and to give them valuable work experience that may lead to permanent jobs in the Crowns and will make them attractive candidates for other employers.

Gradworks was operated on a trial basis in 2004, with 15 interns hired in CIC and its subsidiary Crowns. In 2005, the Crowns hired 89 interns, and there were 83 internships in 2006. The target is to hire a total of 325 interns over the five-year life of the program.
