Raven Program
RAVEN - Is It For You?Are you an Aboriginal Youth living in British Columbia, and are you looking for a very challenging and rewarding employment opportunity for the summer? Do you like to make new friends, work hard, like do physical activities and enjoy the outdoors? Then maybe applying for the RAVEN Program is exactly what you are looking for.
In the summer of 2003, the Commander of Maritime Forces Pacific implemented the first RAVEN Aboriginal Youth Employment Program. This outreach program is designed to build bridges into the Aboriginal communities of British Columbia and to make Aboriginal youth aware of potential military or civilian careers with the Department of National Defence.
The program is a total of 7 weeks long and gives you a very good idea at life in the Canadian Forces. You can complete the program with the option - but no commitment - to pursue a career in the Reserve Force, Regular Force, or work in a Civilian Occupation with the National Defence.
RAVEN is held at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt at the Work Point Barracks, and the staff are current Military members who have years of experience. The Culture Camp phase is administered by Elders from different First nations and Aboriginal groups.
