Manitoba Government Job Opportunities
Employee networks
The Manitoba government recognizes that peer support and networking are an important component of an employee’s success. Two networks currently exist. We encourage all new and existing employees to consider joining.
New Professionals Network
Touchstone
New Professionals Network (NPN)
The NPN is a group of employees new to the Manitoba civil service, or beginning a new career path in the civil service, with an interest in being leaders and positively influencing the course of government. New professionals come together to connect, learn and grow as they progress in their professional and personal development.
Managed by a group of volunteers, the NPN hosts a number of formal and informal events and activities, including: conferences, workshops, information session, networking events and regular communication through newsletter, website and publications.
Touchstone
Touchstone is a group of Aboriginal employees that:
- provides a positive alternative method of support through which Aboriginal employees may meet their need for community while managing the challenges and stresses they face while carrying out their duties as a civil servants
- uses the abilities of more experienced Aboriginal employees as mentors and role models to support the development and sustainability of others as they progress through their careers in the civil service
- broadens the network of support beyond the traditional centres so that those in more isolated areas can have a more consistent method of support
- provides a forum that reinforces the positive contribution of Aboriginal employees to the workplace
