Equal Employment Opportunity Program
Finance and Treasury Board
Overview
The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program was established in 1984. The objective of the EEO Program is to provide a more balanced representation of qualified designated group persons in the public service by helping individuals find meaningful employment with opportunities for advancement.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the program, candidates must be members of one of the following designated groups:
• Indigenous: an Indigenous person is a member of a First Nation, Métis, or Inuit who identifies with an Indigenous community culturally and/or linguistically. Métis are people who have Indigenous ancestry, who self-identify as Métis, and who are recognized by the Métis Nations. Inuit are the Indigenous inhabitants of Northern Canada.
• Persons with disabilities: persons with disabilities are individuals who have a long term or recurring health condition that limits the kind or amount of activity that they can do in the workplace because of a physical, intellectual, sensory, psychiatric or learning limitation.
• Members of visible minorities: members of a visible minority group are persons in Canada, other than Indigenous Peoples, who are non-Caucasian. Some people who are members of a visible minority group were born in Canada; others have come here from other countries.
You can register online for the EEO Program, using the government e-recruitment web based resource. Please allow up to 15 business days for your application to be reviewed. Eligible candidates will receive a letter confirming that their registration has been approved.
Description
This department provides funding to other departments (Part I) and school districts (Part II) of the New Brunswick public service who hire EEO candidates.
Please refer to the Public Service Labour Relations Act First Schedule for a detailed list of Part I and Part II: http://laws.gnb.ca/en/showdoc/cs/P-25.
There is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Coordinator within each department. Part of their role is to promote the EEO Program within their own department and school districts and answer questions from EEO candidates. EEO candidates are encouraged to contact EEO Coordinators directly about potential employment opportunities.
Once registered with the EEO Program, EEO candidates can apply to “in-service” competitions.
