The Canadian Armed Forces Recruiting Centre in Vancouver will be hosting an information session on 16 October 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 (depending on occupation and program) 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 school 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.
One thing to highlight is that because our application process involves quite a few more steps (aptitude test, medical, security screening, etc.) than other post-secondary institutes, our campaign for starting school in the Fall of 2017 is in full swing. We have been accepting applications since the summer and the earlier someone applies, the better position they put themselves in as spots start filling up in February and the average application process time is 4-5 months.
looking for student volunteers to help us with a craft fair/market. The date is Sunday October 30th, 2016 at Heritage Hall on Main Street, Vancouver. The times would be from 10 am – 5 pm (which we can break into two shifts if that is easier).
