On behalf of The Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC), I am happy to invite CAPPA students to the 2026 New Professionals Forum, taking place virtually on December 15, 2026.
As part of IPAC’s commitment to supporting the next generation of public service leaders, we are offering all CAPPA students free virtual registration, which will include access to the recordings upon upload.
This year’s theme, “The Bigger Picture”, focuses on how to build careers in the public service and make meaningful connections. Sessions will touch on the roles of new professionals in the public service, how collaboration can lead to better outcomes, and how to better connect with people both in the public service and on the other side of it.
For more information on the program, please go to ipac.ca/NP2026
Registration
Interested students can register for free by emailing Alyssa Ramos at aramos@ipac.ca with their full name, program, institution, and preferred email.
The New Professionals forum is an opportunity for students to gain valuable insights into the beginning of their careers in the public service and learn from those in the public service.
