These are veterans, wounded soldiers and those who cannot continue to provide service. The training is aimed first and foremost at helping them look for work in another department. So the skills could be used within the public service but also in the private sector. These retraining centres are for people who cannot work in their occupation because of some disability. It covers almost all public service positions, by department. Some positions are reserved for veterans. There is no limit in terms of access, as long as the skills are applicable. But when someone is retrained for work in the public sector, it is mainly in much more traditional occupations that require lower skills, without meaning to be pejorative. These areas include building construction, electricity and other work that helps communities.
Retraining focuses on helping people find work again either in their own department or in another department in areas reserved for those whose disability does not prevent them from carrying out their duties. So the retraining centre make this transition easier; these people upgrade their skills to be assigned to positions and generally do not have to compete for them.
