Audience: Current Students, Graduating Students and Graduates with Disabilities

As Canada’s largest employer the federal public service is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion, ensuring that its employees are reflective of the country’s population. But how do you launch a Career in Government?

• Have you ever considered applying for a job in the federal government but felt a little overwhelmed by the on-line application process?

• Have you started an application but found yourself confused about the difference between a FSWEP job and a GC job?

• Have you submitted an application but were not sure what happened next, or where it even went to, in their system?

We can help. We invite you to join us for a targeted career event for current and graduating students with disabilities. This unique half-day event will provide you with hands on training to apply to FSWEP opportunities (Federal Student Work Experience Program) and/or full-time GC Jobs.

BRING YOUR DEVICE! Interactive Application Workshop

Participate in interactive, hands-on on-line application workshops for both FSWEP (Federal Student Work Experience Program) and full-time GC Jobs facilitated by hiring representatives to ensure you leave with an application stands out in a crowd!

BRING YOUR RESUME! Government Department Showcase

You will meet the hiring managers, recruiters and departmental representatives to learn about the many and varied opportunities that exist in a workplace that understands the value of inclusion and accessibility. Check in at onleyinitiative.ca to learn more about the departments who will be showcasing their opportunities at this event.

BRING YOUR BEST SELF! Career Corner Networking Café

You will have the chance for one-on-one exchanges with hiring managers who are actively recruiting for available positions and who are very interested in identifying candidates for continuing conversations.
