Help Veterans gain skills to successfully transition to the civilian workforce.

What success looks like

More Veterans, Canadian Armed Forces members, and their spouses/common-law partners successfully transition to the civilian labour market. The government hires more veterans into meaningful work.

Government's narrative on progress

Since April 2018, eligible Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, their spouses or common-law partners and survivors have been able to apply for a new, modernized set of career transition services. These services are delivered consistently across Canada by qualified career support professionals who understand military life and culture. For Veterans and survivors, these career transition services will be available throughout a person’s post-service working life, meaning they can get help when and where needed. The government also continues to provide access to hiring opportunities in the public service for certain serving and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces who are released for medical reasons. Priority for public service jobs is given to these members and Veterans over all other individuals.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
