Professional Positions You Can Apply To Today!

You can walk out of college or university and into a paying job today. Law Enforcement, Banks, Insurance Agencies, Financial Advisors, large Retail Stores with multiple advancement opportunites, and Enterprise Car Rentals - among many others - are always looking for good men and women. Let's look at two of these:

Law Enforcement


1. Regional Police. See below
2. OPP www.opp.ca
3. RCMP www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca
4. CSIS www.csis-scrs.gc.ca
5. Canadian Forces www.forces.gc.ca

Note: “For northern students the northern police forces can be great options. If you serve in the north for 4 years with the OPP you can choose where to live thereafter.” – LU Professor

Example: Peel Police - www.peelpolice.ca - five star rating in Canadian Career Directory.

Peel is the second largest municipal police service in Ontario which means more room for career mobility AND it serves Mississauga / Brampton (central location.) Peel's murder rate is less than or about the same as smaller cities such as Calgary and Edmonton and Winnipeg, and still less than half the count of Toronto's.

The Peel Regional Police follows the P.R.E.P Testing as of July 2008 for its constable selection process. Unlike every other police service in the province, the Peel Regional Police does not charge for its written and physical testings. However, the physical requirements are significantly more strenuous than for other police services.

AND they have Police TV! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY5Hx-TxH20 - 10:30 pm on Wednesdays on Rogers TV. How cool is that?!

*****

You do not need to have a Law and Security diploma or degree to get into Policing or Business Admin to get into Banking. These employers are looking for new employees who are able to think independantly, yet be part of a team. Very important is having good personal ethics and demonstrated community involvement.
