Canadian Armed Forces Information Session
Reply
The Canadian Armed Forces Recruiting Centre in Vancouver will be hosting an information session on 29 Sep 2016 from 6-8 PM at our office located at 620 Royal Ave, New Westminster, BC.
This information session will focus on the various subsidized education programs we offer including the Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP) for subsidized university education and the Non-Commissioned Member Subsidized Training and Education Program (NCM-STEP) for subsidized college education.
Although most of the applications we receive for these programs are from students currently in Grade 12, these programs are open to all Canadian Citizens aged 16-55 who meet the educational requirements. This program is also available to students who are currently in University or College as long as they have at least one year of schooling remaining. This information session is a great way for students, parents, influencers, and anyone interested to learn more about the programs and the Canadian Armed Forces in general. There will also be an opportunity at the end of the presentation to ask any questions you may have.
