Assessment accommodation

Shared Services Canada (SSC) is committed to creating a workplace that is respectful of Canada’s two official languages. The staffing of bilingual positions, with respect to supervision and the provision of common and central services, is the norm in regions designated bilingual for language-of-work purposes. SSC must ensure that it has adequate bilingual capacity to implement its mandate, while respecting the language rights of its employees and those of client departments across the country. Language training is offered to SSC employees who would like to acquire or improve skills in the other official language for developmental or career advancement purposes.

Give yourself the best chance to succeed! As the objective of this process is to assess qualifications needed for the position(s) to be staffed, let us know if you have a functional limitation/ disability, which may affect your performance. For example, contact us if you need assistance in completing and submitting your application. Should you then proceed to the next assessment stage, such as an exam or interview, we will send you an e-mail with additional information on the assessment format so that you can determine if you may require an accommodation (such as a different test format, an adaptive technology, or additional time). Assessment accommodations are designed to remove obstacles without altering the criteria being assessed to allow candidates with functional limitations to fully demonstrate their abilities.
