Launch of the Tenth Edition of the National Student Paper Competition


Launch of the Tenth Edition of the National Student Paper Competition (NSPC)


We end the year on an exciting note with the Canada School of Public Service (CSPC), in partnership with the Canadian Association of Programs in Public Administration (CAPPA), and the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC), launching the 10th edition of the National Student Paper Competition (NSPC).
The NSPC is an excellent opportunity for graduate public service students to showcase their skills, abilities, and forward-thinking ideas with senior public servants. Many students that participate in this competition are able to expand their networks, nurture their leadership skills, and foster employment opportunities with the federal public service. This is your time to shine and to take your professional life to the next level.
Participants will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the President of the Canada School of Public Service, and your paper will be posted on the Canadian Association of Programs in Public Administration website in both official languages. If you are the grand prize winner, you will also receive a four-month internship with the Canadian federal public service, as well as invitations to attend or present at academic and government conferences and panels.
