SCAN services invaluable to CF members
The Second Career Assistance Network (SCAN) helps
CF members plan, prepare for and enter a civilian lifestyle and
satisfying and productive second careers.
SCAN includes counseling, training, education, upgrading
and accreditation for a career change – all of which you may
want to use depending on your individual needs. You should access
SCAN early and periodically during your career – we strongly
encourage you not to wait until your last year of service to take
advantage of SCAN services.
Transition seminars offer general information on
major transition subjects and personal long-term goals. Seminars
may cover Personal Enhancement Program (PEP) services, administration
procedures on release, disability pensions, and/or financial benefits
on release.
Long Term Planning (LTP) seminars are also available
periodically. They provide CF members with the opportunity to engage
in topics such as financial planning, house purchase and mortgage,
wills and estates, disability pensions and other related benefits
administered by Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), PEP and its component
programs, Service Income Security Insurance Plan (SISIP) benefits,
and career development and transition.
SCAN services are delivered through Personnel Selection
Offices (PSOs) on bases and wings throughout Canada.
