Welcome to the Government of Canada (GC) and the GC Students network!

Support and answer questions from students (we answer all your questions);
Promote and organize a variety of activities (follow us on social media so you don't miss a thing);
Inform the various ministries of the resources available to students (see our committee page to find the student representative in your department); and,
Be THE resource for students (if you have information that might interest other students, write to us: isc.ncr.rcn.cei@gmail.com).

NOTE: The content on this page was developed by former student workers who share their own learnings and tips and tricks.

2. You are encouraged to review the Student Terms of Employment and Student Rates of Pay.

✨ Arrival and Onboarding

A) Create your GCxchange account

Don't forget to check your department or agency's onboarding resources!
- Go to your organization page, make sure you are connected to your department or agency network, and search in the search bar for "onboarding"!
- Our resources can be complementary, but in no way replace the tools that are specific to your organization.

📝 Work Plan Template


This work plan is a template to encourage students to structure their work contract. The purpose of the work plan is to identify tasks that will be assigned to you and to ensure that you have meaningful and sufficient tasks that will allow you to learn and contribute to the objectives of the organization. The work plan is also intended to allow you to express yourself openly and provide feedback to your manager. Students hold a very important place in the Government of Canada (GC) and we want your work experience to be as rewarding as possible. We encourage you to use this document throughout your GC student contracts.

👩🏽‍🎓 During your student contract
