Career Boot Camp

Since 2011, the Federal Youth Network (FYN) has annually hosted Career Boot Camp (CBC), a learning series offered in partnership with the Canada School of Public Service, offering workshops, group discussions, mentoring sessions and kiosks for new and young public servants navigating their public service careers. In 2019, CBC held 15 events in 14 cities across Canada with over 2,000 learners.

This year, CBC2021 is 100% virtual!  From coast-to-coast-to-coast, public servants will have access to his conference-style series of incredible presentations and workshops.  It will give you the tools you need to take charge of your career. Don’t miss out!

Are the VLS sessions in December required to attend CBC? The January 11th session and all of the December Virtual Learning Series programming is optional, but it is intended for those who want to optimize their experience.
