What is the PE Development Program (PEDP)?

The PEDP is designed to facilitate the development of talented individuals who have the potential to excel as HR professionals. The program is an integrated, competency-based career development framework, designed to hire participants at the junior level and, after fulfilling training and development requirements, appoint them to the working level.

In the spirit of collaboration and career development, NRCan and DFO are committed to creating a temporary employee exchange opportunity for advisors hired in the staffing discipline. Employees will have an opportunity to benefit from expanding their networks, learning from different tutors, and gain exposure to different ways of doing things.

Work environment

You will love this job if you:

• take great pride in taking responsibility. You are confident in your judgment; others can rely on you as you are accountable for the advice provided and the decisions made.

What are we looking for?
• Curiosity: you don’t always have the answers but you know how to find them by asking the right questions.
• Someone who thrives in a client service environment with an aptitude for learning: you should be driven to bring your value to address HR needs and challenge the status quo.
• Teamwork: you are a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys partnering with colleagues and clients to provide an integrated service delivery.
• Strong communications skills and the ability to influence: you can position advice in a skilled way, and have the ability to think analytically and strategically.
