Canadian Army Reserve units across the country will host their third annual job fair tomorrow, demonstrating the many employment opportunities available in the Army Reserve.
Visitors will be able to meet with Army Reservists, view interactive displays, and participate in dynamic activities throughout the day. Interested individuals will also be able to apply on site.
Joining the Army Reserve is a great opportunity to gain valuable leadership experience, work in unique environments, and develop transferable skills, all while receiving meaningful part-time employment and benefits.
Reservists serve an important role in the success of Canada's defence operations both at home and abroad. The Army Reserve is an excellent part-time employment opportunity for Canadians to challenge themselves and serve their country while staying close to home.
More than 12,700 people visited job fairs at their local armouries in 2018, and more than 100 units across the country will be opening their doors this year. If you wish to visit an armoury in your area on Saturday, September 28th, please visit the Canadian Army Reserve Job Fair website to find the location nearest you.
