Mosaic Leadership Development program: How to apply

Step 1

Applicants can nominate themselves to participate in the Mosaic Leadership Development program through their organization’s call-out for participants.

Applicants will have to self-declare as a member of an equity-seeking group and complete the application. There is no requirement for applicants to have self-identified in their organization’s HR system to be able to apply to Mosaic.

Step 2

Organizations will:

• establish a selection committee
• review the self-nominations received
• select up to 2 applicants to be considered for participation in Mosaic

Organizations can decide which equity-seeking groups should be prioritized based on the organization’s:

• needs
• gaps in representation
• action plan on inclusion, diversity, equity, and anti-racism and/or an organizational staffing strategy targeted at equity-seeking groups

Each organization should choose applicants who are under-represented in the federal public service and in their own organization. Successful applicants should be employees from equity-seeking groups who need opportunities to develop in order to join the executive cadre.

Step 3

Once organizations have submitted their selected applicants, the Mosaic Team will coordinate the selection of participants based on the following factors:

• regional representation
• intersectionality of identities
• language
• field of work

Other factors may also be considered, such as the applicant’s:

• access to other development programs
• time in their current substantive position
