Government of Canada launches Indigenous youth employment program
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/10/17 -- As part of its priority to renew Canada''s relationship with Indigenous peoples, the Government of Canada is committed to attracting more young Indigenous Canadians into the federal public service. Better representation within the public service of Canada''s fastest-growing demographic group will lead to more innovative and inclusive solutions to today''s complex challenges. Ultimately, this will improve government services for Canadians.
To take this forward, the Honorable Scott Brison, President of the Treasury Board, today officially announced the launch of the Indigenous Youth Summer Employment Opportunity. This initiative offers meaningful work experience in the National Capital Region for Indigenous post-secondary students, including on-the-job learning, professional development and networking, as well as cultural events and mentorship opportunities.
First introduced as a pilot project in 2016, the initiative is doubling the number of participants this year and increasing the duration of their employment. Eligible students can apply through the Public Service Commission''s Federal Student Work Experience Program, which opened for applications on February 2, 2017.
This initiative serves as a launch point into the public service for Indigenous youth, and also provides participants with transferable skills and experience to build careers in their communities.
