Introducing Your Team for the CAF Reservists' Paid Internship Program
Since celebrating the launch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Reservists' Paid Internship Program, we have assembled a dedicated team that is ready to help organizations hire reservists into corporate roles that leverage their exceptional levels of training and transferable skills.

Your CAF Team at Career Edge is ready to answer any questions you may have about the program at CAF@careeredge.ca, in addition to the following FAQs:

What is the CAF Reservists' Paid Internship Program?
Supported by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), in partnership with the Department of National Defence (DND), the CAF Reservists' Paid Internship Program is aimed at helping reservists secure paid internship opportunities that align with their civilian career goals, while also enabling them to continue serving their local reserve unit.

What is a reservist?
In the context of the CAF Reservists' paid internship program, a reservist is a part-time member of Canada's military within its Primary Reserve force. If you would like to know more about reservists, a wealth of information and resources can be accessed on the Canadian Forces Liaison Council website.

Through this specialized program, Career Edge is committed to helping reservists secure full-time roles outside of the Canadian Armed Forces in a wide range of civilian occupations, while allowing them to continue serving their local reserve unit.

What kind of occupations can reservists be hired for?
Whether you're looking to complement your existing staff or planning to expand your mandate to include members of the military in your workforce, you can use this program as a hiring solution for entry and mid-level positions.

Having acquired rigorous military training, reservists have developed an abundance of transferable skills that can be effectively applied towards corporate roles in Sales, HR, Marketing and Communications, Project Management, Business Operations, and others.
