Full Time Summers next 3-5 years, part time in school year

at  21 Electronic Warfare Regiment Canadian Armed Forces Army Reserve

Army Reserve positions in 21 Electronic Warfare Regiment - Kingston, Ontario
The Army Reserve has a program which guarantees that all new members will be offered full time summer employment for their first five years in the reserve (1 May to 31 Aug). While this is an ideal summer job choice for students, recent grads and supply teachers; it is also flexible and appropriate for those looking for a strong second career, or a start point for a full time career later in the Canadian Forces or other federal departments.
The Reserve component of 21 Electronic Warfare Regiment has several positions open now. Training and employment with the reserves begins on completion of the application process when an offer is made (we don’t make you wait). In addition to full time training from when you are available until the end of the summer, there is part time training of one evening a week, and two weekends a month during the academic year. Students will also be eligible for $2000 per year in tuition assistance for their first post secondary degree or diploma.
The primary role of the Reserves is to augment, sustain and support the Regular Forces at home and abroad. Reservists train and work at a unit close to their home and are not obligated to move or to serve overseas, as is typical with the Regular Force. However, many of our members have chosen to deploy on operations and training both at home and abroad, often with the Regular Force portions of the unit or with other CF formations when positions are available.
The following reserve occupations are currently being hired by this unit:
Signals Intelligence Specialist
Signals Operator
Intelligence Operator (Int Op)
Vehicle Technician
Human Resources Administrator
Financial Sevices Administrator
Supply Technician
Mobile Support Equipment Operator
Signals Officer
