As part of the change in Government, the Treasury Board is mandated to provide support for individuals displaced during the transition. You may be desiring to evolve into a different role within the public sector, or explore options within the NGO, NFP/Charitable, consulting or private sectors. We can help you.

Regardless of how you’re feeling, this change provides an opportunity to move forward. We can help you leverage this rich experience, and use it as a catalyst to take your career forward by identifying opportunities and helping you make good choices. The market doesn’t always translate well to employers. We can guide you to pitch, brand and land in the right roles.
