Civilians at the Department of National Defence work with the Canadian
Forces through their support of military operations, their contribution
to the Department's corporate responsibilities and their work at
bases and various regional sites. The civilian workforce consists
of a variety of careers and occupations from scientists, analysts,
and
managers, to operational trades such as dockyard workers, technicians
and mechanics. Civilians at the Department are responsible for not
only providing advice on policy issues and budget administration,
but also for ensuring that our ships, tanks and armoury as well
as our mission critical systems are in top condition. The knowledge
and skills of this workforce ensure that, together with the Canadian
Forces, our valued defence services can be provided at home and
abroad. |
