A new post-military employment initiative will help veterans find work in the Canadian public service, the Minister of Veterans Affairs will announce Thursday. The Star has learned that Seamus O’Regan will announce a Veterans in the Public Service Unit at the Invictus Games Veterans Career Summit Thursday morning. The dedicated team will “lend a helping hand” to veterans navigating the Canadian public service hiring process. “At the end of the day, what we want to have happen here is to have our veterans recognized for the incredible work experience they have, the credentials that they have and the contribution that they can make to the public service,” O’Regan told the Star. The new initiative will act as a liaison between the public sector and veterans, and help veterans adapt to civilian employment and hiring.
