Career Assignment Program

 

The Career Assignment Program (CAP) is a federal Public Service leadership development program that recruits individuals from within the public service who have demonstrated executive potential. The goal of the program is to accelerate leadership development and advancement within the Public Service.

Over a three year period, participants can expect to attain management and leadership experience that will prepare them to perform successfully at pre-executive and executive levels. Today’s program places significant emphasis on developing executive level competencies by providing hands-on work experience through assignments with organizations and through an educational component that complements and enhances the experience acquired on the job.
