The People Exchange initiative aims to generate insights from the world and apply them to public service. It is dedicated to less paperwork, simple connections, and more learning. Both provide Government of Canada employees the chance to understand and develop innovation competencies in practical settings. The People Exchange currently has two active projects: Externships, and the Paper Plane Exchange. The Externship project is a way to facilitate longer-term placements for Government of Canada staff to leave the organization and return with new knowledge, skills and awareness. The Paper Plane Exchange is a way to enable light-touch, shorter term experiential learning opportunities across organizations. By developing the Paper Plane Exchange, CSPS is also testing wayfinding tools that will be of service to a wide variety of short and long term mobility programs to encourage cross-sectoral, cross-organizational collaboration. | The People Exchange initiative aims to generate insights from the world and apply them to public service.
