Put your talents to work for Canada

The 2006 fall RPL Campaign will be accepting applications from October 16 to October 27, 2006.

Do you thrive on challenges? Are you are a leader, thinker and self-starter? Are you an active and engaged citizen who wants to build a better Canada?

No matter what academic or professional field you have excelled in, if you are passionate about making a difference, consider the Recruitment of Policy Leaders program (RPL).

RPL is a competitive recruitment program that places exceptional Canadians in positions where they can have an immediate impact. From the initial interview to hiring, senior public service executives oversee RPL recruitment.

Successful candidates include some of Canada's top talent, who join a dynamic community of professionals in tackling the nation's most critical public policy challenges. Recruits come from fields as diverse as theoretical physics, management consulting and international aid.

"RPL launched me straight into work I
love." Barbara Best, Fisheries & Oceans Canada
