What is the Virtual Learning Series? Show/Hide

What is the FYN Virtual Learning Series?

The FYN Virtual Learning Series is a combination of workshops, webinars, and speakers who will share their expertise and take questions from participants across Canada using the Zoom Webinar platform.

What topics will you cover in the FYN Virtual Learning Series?

We will cover many topics that are key to public servants including how to build your virtual network, the do’s and don’ts of social media, the keys to successful telework, how to leverage the GCTools, virtual collaboration, interview tips & tricks, how to search for a new job, finding your why, appreciation languages and many other topics!

What is the format and duration of the FYN Virtual Learning Series?

Each session will be 60 minutes followed by a 15 minute question and answer period. We ask that participants log in 10 minutes prior to the session to avoid technical delays.

How will I find out what sessions are being offered at what time in this Series?

Follow the FYN on Twitter @FYN_RJFF and on Facebook to find out more and to get the links to the registration for a particular session. This Series will be promoted broadly in the public service so please share this with your friends and colleagues.

What is the frequency of these sessions and how long will the FYN Virtual Learning Series run for?

We’ll pilot the Series on March 23rd with an initial pilot period until April 10th. Based on demand we will continue to run this Series with 6-8 sessions per week, until further notice. This will ensure that public servants have learning offerings that can help them stay connected during this time, and make the most of the opportunity to connect and learn virtually.

What do I need to do to participate?

Follow the FYN on Twitter and Facebook to get the registration link for the Series. Register for the sessions that interest you and login to learn, develop and engage with your colleagues from across Canada!

Does the FYN Virtual Learning Series run on a Government of Canada network?

The FYN Virtual Learning Series is hosted on the Zoom Webinar platform and does not rely on any GC network. Participants are encouraged to login to the Series using a personal computer or mobile device, to ensure the GC network’s bandwidth is not being used.
