PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CLOSING DATE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 19, 2019.

Candidates who applied and qualified on selection process 2016-CSD-EA-NHQ-23428 do not have to resubmit their application. If you choose to reapply, you will be reassessed in this selection process.

No cover letter is required; candidates must ANSWER THE SCREENING QUESTIONS, by clearly demonstrating they meet essential qualifications relative to education and experience and asset qualifications, if applicable. Please note that it is not sufficient to only state that the requirement is met or to provide a listing of current responsibilities, rather the candidate must provide concrete examples that illustrate how they meet the requirement. Lack of EXAMPLES and DETAILS may result in your application being rejected as the Assessment Board will have insufficient information to determine whether or not you meet the qualifications.

It is mandatory for applicants to submit their applications on-line.

Duties

Do you have a passion for learning, a desire to change things, and an appreciation for all things digital? Do you want to make a difference by working on projects that touch key Government priorities and at the same time have a lasting positive effect on your co-workers across Canada? If yes, read on to find out if our team would be a fit for you.

The art of storytelling goes back to before the invention of the written word. Stories would be shared and passed down generation to generation to share wisdom and preserve knowledge. On our team, we do the same thing. We bring stories to employees all over the department though our courses, videos, and talks to share knowledge and ideas on important topics such as Mental Health, Indigenous Awareness, Project Management, Transformation, Unconscious Bias and so much more.

If you are a creative self-starter with a passion for innovation and learning, apply to our team.
