Representation matters!
***************************
Creating an environment where diversity is valued begins with self-declaration. Count yourself in and self-declare by identifying which employment equity group(s) you belong to. To learn more about the self-declaring, visit our website: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/jobs/opportunities/government/self-declaring-because-we-care.html

At the Canada School of Public Service, we are committed to providing a diverse, inclusive and barrier-free work environment. Having a skilled workforce that reflects the diversity of Canadians is one of our goals.

We strive to establish bias-free selection and assessment practises that offer an equitable playing field for everyone including candidates from employment equity or equity-seeking groups, such as Indigenous peoples, racialized people, black people, persons with disabilities, members of 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities and women. To that end, the selection committee will be diverse, and its members will have completed unconscious bias and inclusive hiring training.
