Hiring Students and Recent Graduates

As in many other jurisdictions, the Nova Scotia Government faces an aging population. With a large number of retirements on the horizon, the recruitment of youth into the public sector grows increasingly important.

The Career Starts program provides young Nova Scotians with practical employment experience and promotes the provincial civil service as a viable career path. The Public Service Commission funds four youth employment programs through Career Starts:

• Post Secondary Internship Program
• Co-operative Employment Program
• Summer Female Mentorship Program
• Summer Diversity Program
