Hiring managers: It’s never too early to hire a student!

February 11, 2022 - Defence Stories

It’s time to focus on developing our future workforce! We need to hire future leaders to strengthen the Defence Team.

6 top reasons why you should hire a student:

• The Student Programs and Sourcing Team can help source students from FSWEP or Coop programs
• Students are well-adapted to virtual work and can thrive in a remote work environment
• Hiring a student brings new perspectives to the organization as students have fresh education, different insights, experiences and culture which can add value to your team
• Students can work more days out of the year than casual employees
• Students can be bridged in as a term or indeterminate employee should you choose to keep them
• Students can be hired and work year-round

If you need help finding a student, contact the Student Programs and Sourcing Team. If you already have a student candidate identified, contact HR Connect RH (accessible only on the National Defence network) who can guide you through the online staffing HR Request (accessible only on the National Defence network) process or complete it for you!
