Applications are now open to Canadian students for the 2017 edition of the Infiniti Engineering Academy.

Now in its fourth successive year, and its second time in Canada, the Infiniti Engineering Academy will offer one Canadian engineering student an opportunity to join a 12-month placement working on both automotive and Formula One technologies.

Engineering students can now apply at academy.INFINITI.com. The best applicants will then be invited to participate in a final event that will take place in Montreal, Quebec on June 6-7, 2017, where 10 finalists will compete to secure their place.

The selected student from Canada will join another six young engineers, one from each of the other participating regions (Asia & Oceania, China, Europe, Mexico, Middle East and United States).

“We are very excited to offer seven engineering students from different regions the possibility to join this technically rich, multi-discipline and multi-cultural engineering placement once again,” said Tommaso Volpe, Infiniti Global Motorsport Director. “With Formula One more relevant to the automotive industry than ever, and with the enhanced scope for collaboration and real technology transfer that the Renault-Nissan Alliance and our Technical Partnership with the team bring, the Infiniti Engineering Academy will provide an unmatched range of experiences and opportunities to the 2017 winners.”
