Awareness advertising campaign - Train for your true calling
In this campaign, we try to debunk some of the more popular stereotypes and misconceptions about the CAF. We want to show that we have a diverse and inclusive environment, and that a CAF career provides more perks than your average job. Our members create lifelong friendships while also gaining independence and financial security early on in their careers.
Learn more about the goals of the awareness campaign
One of the campaign’s goals is to show that a CAF career is flexible and anything but one-size-fits-all. New members can choose between long-term and short-time commitments, as well as full-time and part-time work.
Another way we’re showing that flexibility is by highlighting work-life balance. Even though CAF members work hard, they play hard, too. We want to show that members boast active lives outside the job, spending time with family, friends, and their favourite hobbies. They also have time to socialize on the base through the CAF’s many sports programs.
The campaign also shows Canadians the more exciting parts of the job so that they’ll want to join in on the action, whether that’s heading across Canada to fight fires or floods, or travelling overseas on deployment.
Lastly, we promote some of the lesser-known benefits of a CAF career, such as competitive pay and benefits, paid education and training programs, as well as opportunities to gain transferable skills.
Profiling individual CAF Members
This campaign will profile Canadian Armed Forces members and show their experiences.
“I have worked long and hard to get to the position I am now. I am proud to have the opportunity to offer my experiences and skills, and to have the chance to share it.”
Corporal Olga Antiperovitch wanted to take part in the campaign so that she could showcase her career as a medic in the CAF.
It was also important for Antiperovitch to participate in something bigger than herself.
“The Forces has a lot of demand, but not enough people, especially in the medical trade. I wish there were more people to share the wealth.”
