Pacific Leaders Program

Pacific Leaders is making the BC Public Service an even better place to build a career. It recognizes and encourages high achievement.

Through scholarships and loan forgiveness, we’re investing in our public service by supporting the education and growth of talented and dedicated staff. Pacific Leaders strengthens the public service’s contribution to our province. And it sharpens our competitive edge to recruit and retain high-calibre employees in a marketplace with increasing labour shortages.
