New Professionals

A new professional in a formal definition is anyone who has been employed for less than five years in any level of government (municipal, provincial and federal), broader public and not-for profit sectors and private organizations who are interested in public policy and administration. BUT a new professional is truly an individual who has just started their career in the public service, a student preparing for their career in public policy and administration and an individual who has decided to pivot their career from one industry to the public sector.

IPAC is dedicated to foster an environment for continued learning to engage and grow future leaders of public service.

Each individual IPAC regions have their own local ways to support new professionals residing and working in regions across Canada. Please connect with your regions to get learn more and get involved!
