Canadian Heritage team

Since 2011, students from various MPS cohorts have earned continued success working at the Department of Canadian Heritage. Starting their career journeys as co-op students, these MPSers gathered top-notch policy experience that helped them acquire post-graduation employment with the federal public service.

“How can I be successful in my interviews and beyond?”, “As a public servant, how should I be using social media?”, “What is it like working for a crown corporation?”

These are just some of the questions that were posed during MPS Talks held on January 10.  At this event, senior MPS students shared their knowledge, tips and success stories with new students who are embarking on their co-op interviews in the coming weeks. 

Thomas Barakat, MPS Class of 2013, is published in the winter edition of the Ontario Good Roads Association (OGRA) Milestones magazine. His articles are titled "Seeing Infrastructure in 3D: Ontario Good Roads Association Advocacy Day 2013" and "Multilevel Governance in Canadian Emergency Management".  The multilevel governance article features research by MPS Program Director, Dr. Daniel Henstra, from his new book entitled "Multilevel Governance and Emergency Management in Canadian Municipalities".
