Closing Event for Students

Description

Every year, students continue to prove the worth of their contribution to the renewal of the Government of Canada. Their curiosity, innovative ideas and learned experiences are important assets to all federal departments and agencies.

As the summer student work term draws to a close, now is the time to reflect on the unique experience of working for the Government of Canada and the new skills acquired along the way.

Hosted in collaboration with the Federal Youth Network, the 2022 Closing Event for Students aims to share advice with students on how they can benefit from their summer work experiences to guide their future career decisions.

Participants will learn about staffing processes for public service jobs, post-secondary recruitment activities and how to successfully pursue a career in the public service.
