Work with the CSPS Tech Lab

The Tech Lab team, within the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS), is a multidisciplinary team of Designers and Developers. We work closely with partners and subject matter experts to develop user-centric innovative solutions aimed to provide public servants with truly rewarding and modern learning experiences. Some of the innovation projects we are currently working on include vExpo (virtual event platform and kiosks leveraging immersive technology), the creation of immersive virtual spaces, virtual reality experimentation to support learning, and more!

You would be joining a diverse group of people from various backgrounds. We value diversity, curiosity, out of the box thinking, and learning by doing. We’re always looking for people who are passionate about their work and who understand the important role that digital innovation can play in a large ecosystem such as the Government of Canada. You’ll have opportunities to lead, innovate, learn, and contribute to (fun) meaningful work.
