Student Employment and Employment After Your Studies

• If you are a full-time student, we encourage you to apply for the Federal Student Work Experience Program (FSWEP). Make sure you meet the eligibility requirements.
• If you have previously worked at the GoC and are looking for a student job or a job after your studies, complete the form to register for ESDC's Inventory for Students and Newly Graduated Students.
• Check out the GC Students page for tips and tricks.

Inventory for Persons with Disabilities

• The GoC is committed to recruiting over 5,000 persons with disabilities by 2025. It is important for us to have a diverse workforce that represents the Canadian population. The DORRA team has decided to create a resume repository for persons with disabilities. The goal is to have a repository for different recruitment events as well as for hiring managers to have a direct link to available candidates for different employment opportunities within the department.
  • To register, complete the ESDC National Directory for Persons with Disabilities questionnaire (you can change the language of this form by clicking on the language tab in one of the corners of the form). Please note that this is not a traditional selection process, but a resume repository.
