Ron Dauphinee,
PARDP Graduate – Energy Sector
PARDP is a program that is full of opportunity. Over the last two years, I have
been privileged to be able to pursue challenging and meaningful projects that
have been of great interest to me, and of clear benefit to Canadians, all while
accelerating my career with several substantive promotions . Additionally,
from Day 1, I have had access to a large and welcoming network of
colleagues, who were keen to help me settle into my new career and life in
the National Capital. My favourite part of Natural Resources Canada though is
the willingness of our scientists to share their work and enthusiasm with
anyone who is interested. To date, I have had the pleasure of visiting two of
NRCan’s labs, including the AECL nuclear laboratories in Chalk River, a tour
that was of great personal interest to me!

Marissa Bender
PARDP Graduate – Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. Restructuring
I’ve been given tremendous opportunities within the PARDP – from holding the pen for departmental policy,
to chairing interdepartmental working groups, to many tasks in between… when I was able to demonstrate
competence in a task, I was given greater responsibility and a chance to challenge and prove myself once
more.
The one-year rotational assignments have enabled me to develop expertise in specific areas, but also
allowed me to try out several different sectors of the department - and there are lots to choose from! Through
these assignments, I was able to develop a good idea of what kind of work I enjoy, and what types of work I
am good at. Another tremendous benefit of the program is the participant network.
Current participants and graduates were always willing to make time to talk to me and give me advice and
tips on how to succeed within the program.
Michael de la Mothe
PARDP Graduate – Energy Sector
As an analyst at NRCan, my development has been spurred by challenging and
interesting files that have an impact on the day to day lives’ of Canadians.
My progress has been supplemented by opportunities to better my language skills
and enhance my corporate knowledge through departmental networks.
All of this would not have been possible without the support I received from my
managers who have allowed me to take on learning opportunities when they
presented themselves.

“As a manager, the Policy Analyst Recruitment and Development
Program (PARDP) is one of my key sources to find talented policy
analysts and economists. Over a dozen PARDP participants have
worked in my team, making significant contributions to our
economic policy research priorities. The energy and expertise they
bring to the group are wonderful. The PARDP recruits benefit from
working with colleagues who take pride in sharing their knowledge.
It's a win-win situation!.”
“"I rely heavily on the Policy Analyst
Recruitment and Development Program
to inject energy and ideas into my team.
More than 50% of the people I
have recruited over the past 5 years have
come from this Program, and I have
never been disappointed. Each one has
demonstrated an eagerness to learn and
take on challenges. I have put my trust in
them, and been rewarded with several
important contributions to my work on
major natural resource projects, as well
as positive contributions to the workplace
environment."
