Learning Centres As part of Health Canada's Strategic Learning Policy, employees are responsible for their own learning. To help meet employees' objectives and responsibilities, Health Canada has established self-directed Learning Centres in each region across Canada. The Centres provide employees and managers access to self-directed work stations offering information relevant to staff training or career development. Some Learning Centres have pedagogical material in French and English to assist you in improving your mother tongue, or to improve your knowledge of your second official language. As an employee, you may apply for job opportunities in the federal Public Service, as long as you meet the conditions of eligibility to be considered.
Promotions usually result from a competition.
Lateral moves to a position in the same occupational group at the same level are normally made through deployment. Employees are informed of available positions through posters, written or electronic notices. Notices contain the basic information you will need to apply. Should you require more information about the position, the notice provides the name of a person who can answer questions about the position. Candidates selected for promotion are chosen according to the merit principle.
