Recruitment of Policy Leaders (RPL)

The program targets and recruits exceptional candidates into mid to senior-level policy positions in the federal public service. The initiative is designed to attract top-level professionals and graduates (master or PhD), from an array of disciplines, who have the drive and potential to shape the future of Canada’s public policy landscape. Each year, over 1,600 applications are received, and only 20 to 40 recruits are selected. Recruits are invited to tackle the nation’s most critical public policy challenges in a dynamic, professional environment. Recruits come from fields as diverse as physics, management consulting and international aid.
