To encourage federal organizations to hire students in order to develop a pool of qualified candidates for future Public Service appointments.
To provide employment opportunities for Canadian students that will:
The federal Public Service is committed to offering students valuable learning assignments that represent structured pathways from a school environment to the world of work. While students are not to be regarded as lower-cost alternatives to regular employees, they are recognized as trainees and do not receive the same benefits as full-fledged employees.
This policy applies to departments and agencies listed in Schedule I, Part I of the Public Service Staff Relations Act.
To be eligible for assignment under one of the student employment programs, a candidate must meet the criteria defined in Appendix A.
The federal Public Service supports learning assignments for non-Canadian post-secondary students who are legally entitled to work in Canada, when reciprocal arrangements exist for an equivalent number of Canadian students studying in foreign countries. International students, however, are not to displace Canadian students. The work experience of international students is limited to the equivalent of 12 months of full-time work.
The federal Public Service is a signatory to the Conference Board of Canada's Ethical Guidelines for Business Education Partnerships. In keeping with the spirit of these guidelines, managers are not to use free student labour, except when academic credit programs, primarily the Secondary School Co-op Education Program, preclude payment of a salary, allowance, stipend or honorarium.
This policy is issued pursuant to the Financial Administration Act, subsections 7(1) and 11(2).

Students who are in their final year of academic study and who are not intending to return to full-time studies are eligible to work part-time up until the time they graduate. Managers must ensure that students hired in their final year are not employed under a student employment program beyond their graduation date.
There are two variants:
Students in these latter categories, though not full-time students, are eligible for student employment programs under this policy and, where an appropriate match exists, their placement is encouraged.
