I am recently retired from the CF. Where can I get help in obtaining civilian employment?
The Personal Enhancement Program (PEP) helps retiring and recently retired CF members make the transition to civilian life. PEP services include employment counselling. Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) also offers the Job Placement Assistance Program to these same members, as well as certain Reserves, to get practical help to start a civilian career. The VAC program focuses on three key services: • Job-search training to help you write a resume; identify your transferable skills; advice on what to do during a job interview; and, how to seek out self-employment training. • Career counselling to help you develop a plan to enter the civilian work force; to evaluate your skills and experience; and, to complete your resume. • Job-finding assistance to help you market yourself for possible jobs and how to arrange job interviews. To learn more about the program, read VAC’s Job Placement FAQs at: www.vac-acc.gc.ca/clients/sub.cfm?
