What is the JCTC?

The Joint Career Transition Committee (JCTC) is a joint labour-management process established to assist in employee career transition. It is made up of national and regional representatives who contribute to the positive transformation of the federal Public Service and foster the development of a skilled, proud, representative and adaptive workforce.

What is our mandate?

On April 28, 1999, an Agreement was signed between Bargaining Agents for federal government employees and the Government of Canada establishing this joint process. Our mandate is to provide career transition services and support activities in the key areas of:
  • Learning, training and development
  • Inter-organisational mobility/placement
  • Employability
  • Human resource policy development
The JCTC exists to complement departmental training functions and career services. We want to encourage innovative approaches to career transition and skill development, to support the creation of new initiatives, to facilitate interdepartmental cooperation and, in some cases, to launch activities.

Every region has at least one career/learning centre, established through partnerships with JCTC and departments. Many such centres are also service delivery agents for JCTC programs. There are many other examples of regional initiatives in every province. For more information, please view the regional sites.
