In 2015, the Veterans Hiring Act amended the Public Service Employment Act to help Veterans and qualifying Canadian Armed Forces members find federal public service jobs.
Veterans Affairs Canada and the Public Service Commission worked with the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces to evaluate the implementation of the Veterans Hiring Act across the federal public service.
The goal of this evaluation was to assess and report on the relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency of the Veterans Hiring Act, focusing on awareness and support, and appointments. The evaluation provides a neutral, independent view on how the Act is operating and performing.
The final report and summary can be found on the Public Service Commission website.
