As in many other jurisdictions, the Nova Scotia Government faces an aging population. With a large number of retirements on the horizon, the recruitment of youth into the public sector grows increasingly important.

The Career Starts program provides young Nova Scotians with practical employment experience and promotes the provincial civil service as a viable career path. The Public Service Commission funds four youth employment programs through Career Starts:

Post Secondary Internship Program
Co-operative Employment Program
Summer Female Mentorship Program
Summer Diversity Program

Questions regarding the Career Starts Program can be directed to Lydia Adisenu-Doe. Additional information on these programs is also provided for students and recent graduates on the Career Starts website.
