3. Never stop learning

You can expand your skills and knowledge through continuous learning

Whether you want to continue your education, learn new skills or build your professional career, the public service offers a culture of learning and development.

Career development

The public service offers excellent learning and development opportunities. You can begin as early as your first day. Here are ways to help you develop your career in the public service:

• programs and e-learning opportunities with the Canada School of Public Service
• organizational learning and leadership opportunities
• conferences, workshops and courses
• language training in group or one-on-one settings
• luncheon speakers and discussion series, educational retreats
• mentoring and coaching
• and much more!

Each employee has an individual learning plan based on their needs for the current position or for career development. Managers meet with individuals once or twice a year to review and evaluate an employee's performance, learning plan and training needs.
