After you’re hired

Everybody remembers their first day, and our goal is to do all we can to put you at ease.

Onboarding and training

Ask your hiring manager to share their departmental onboarding tools to help you navigate your new job. Once you join the public service, you can access a variety of mandatory training and optional courses to help you transition smoothly in your new work environment.

Self-identifying as a person with disabilities

If you didn’t self-declare as a person with disabilities when you applied, you can self-identify, in confidence, any time after you’ve been hired. Self-identifying helps create an accurate picture of the people who make up the public service and guides the development of policies and programs that support equity, diversity and inclusion.

Accommodation in the workplace

In Canada, everyone has the right to equal treatment in the workplace without discrimination. The Government of Canada is committed to a work environment that is inclusive, obstacle-free and non-discriminatory. Talk to your manager about your accommodation needs; they’ll support you throughout the process.
