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

The mission of the GC Students Network is to share resources, information and invite you to learning sessions to provide you with an enriching work experience in the Government of Canada. Our role is to:

• Support and answer questions from students, via our Slack group (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).
