Deputy Minister's Welcome Message

Welcome to our new Career Website—a bold step forward in AANDC's career recruitment strategy.

We're proud of the website, and we're committed to keeping it fresh, current and ever-evolving to meet the needs of prospective employees like you.

I joined the AANDC family in May 2006. Right from the start, I was struck by the opportunities we have to make a positive impact on the lives of Aboriginal people and Northerners in Canada.

If you're looking for an opportunity to make a difference in people's lives through your work, then a career at AANDC may be just what you're looking for.

Whether you're a student looking for summer or part-time employment; a recent graduate beginning your career; an experienced professional or current government employee looking for a change, AANDC offers an unmatched variety of employment opportunities. With offices in regions across Canada and headquarters in Gatineau (Quebec), you'll find career options in whatever part of the country you choose to call home.

Our unique, diverse culture—both in our workplace and among our Aboriginal and Northern clients and partners—sets us apart from other organizations. Encompassing several hundred Aboriginal communities and Canada's North (which occupies 40 percent of Canada's land mass), our client base and partnerships reflect a cultural diversity, and demographic and geographic realities that few departments experience.

The sheer breadth of work that AANDC is engaged in requires a multi-skilled workforce with expertise in a wide range of career fields.

I encourage you to explore our website and see why AANDC just may be your employer of choice.

Sincerely,

Michael Wernick
Deputy Minister, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development
