The mission of employment and social development canada (esdc), including the labour program and service canada, is to build a stronger and more inclusive canada, to support canadians in helping those live productive and rewarding lives and to improve canadian’s quality of life.
esdc delivers a range of programs and services that affect canadians throughout their lives. the department provides seniors with basic income security, supports unemployed workers, helps students finance their post- secondary education and assists parents who are raising young children.

tmb is responsible for transforming how esdc delivers its services to canadians. it was established in 2016 to enable the department to align with the government of canada's priorities of delivering citizen-focused services and to achieve the outcomes of the esdc service strategy. tmb enables the department to improve service delivery in a way that responds to needs of canadians while providing employees with modern tools.
tmb oversees some of the largest transformation initiatives across the public service. our work is essential for shaping and transforming the way services and benefits are delivered to canadians. to put it in perspective, we are responsible for the daily operations of canada's largest statutory programs, such as the canada pension plan (cpp), employment insurance (el) and old age security (oas). this outlines just how critical our work is for canadians. your work within the branch will help enable our transformation, as well as ensure our ongoing delivery of our services to canadians.
