Schedule Date Topic Speakers Resources Recordings September 19, 2023 Learning Plans and Performance Agreements You should be meeting with your direct supervisor at least twice a year to review your performance and personal goals. Your learning plan supports your performance by ensuring you have the skills you need to do your current role and prepare for the next one. More than signing the paperwork, you need to have the discussion about where you are and your intentions moving forward. Come with your questions on learning plans and performance appraisals.

October 17, 2023 Staffing and HR You have a job in the GC so everyone around you assumes you understand the process but that’s not necessarily the case. Moving within the public service can happen through a variety of processes and mechanisms that many individuals don’t know about. Come ask our panel about hiring, job mobility, and other HR-related topics.

November 14, 2023 Networking and GC Communities You have likely heard FYN say that Networking is the key to career development. When you sit alone at home or at an office, it can be hard to meet people and build relationships. Ask our speakers where they meet people, how they approach colleagues virtually, and which communities you can join to bring the best of yourself to work.
