“SSC offers further advancement for IT and cybersecurity professionals within the public service. It has a large IT and cybersecurity workforce, which allows for more exciting development, promotional and mentorship opportunities. I am also very impressed with my director’s leadership, vision and goals towards improving strategic operational initiatives and promoting equal opportunities for women.

“SSC is a very welcoming environment. The people that I have met here are friendly, accommodating and very passionate about their work. I feel comfortable being myself and communicating my needs at SSC, which is something that you don’t often get elsewhere.
“I knew that SSC was home to the Accessibility, Accommodation and Adaptive Computer Technology program and the amazing work they do. As a person with a disability, I took comfort in knowing that there was already going to be a culture that was focused on accessibility, inclusivity, and accommodations.

“SSC recognizes talent – My hiring manager made it clear that she wanted me on her team and made it her mission to get me in as a student and subsequently, as an indeterminate employee.
“SSC encourages professional and personal growth – I am surrounded by some of the most intelligent individuals who are not only SUPER supportive of me but play active roles in helping me achieve my goals.

“There is a tendency to believe that at Shared Services Canada, the focus is mainly on careers in information technology, but this is just a myth. What I like most about SSC is the people working there, their human side, the importance attached to the development of employees based on their own preferences and career aspirations.
“Here, the career opportunities are many and very interesting, even outside the IT sphere. SSC is my home and I intend to work there for a long time to come.”

“I find that my colleagues, close and far, are all amazing, creative and dedicated people. We all want to work hard to accomplish our goals and serve other departments and Canadians. The work culture is very welcoming and collaborative.
“I entered SSC through the FSWEP program and although I might not have chosen this department at the beginning, I chose to stay for 3 years as a student and then became a full-time employee. I think that’s showing that I simply like the work I do at SSC and that I enjoy its work environment and its people.
“SSC is really flexible. As an introvert, I like when I can work alone on my files but I also found that I love brainstorming sessions with others and how, as a team, we can contribute ideas and hype ourselves up to keep things interesting and innovative.
Naomi Chauret
Junior Communications Advisor
“What I like most about SSC is the welcoming environment. I really feel I’m a part of a big hearted community. As a student, I chose SSC because the name itself, Shared Services Canada, the word ‘shared’ really talked to me and I feel a big sharing presence between us. I like that I really feel I can learn at my pace and I’m not rushed. This allows me to always prioritize quality before quantity and I feel that that’s the vibe here at SSC!”
