The Aboriginal Cadet Program has been developed to encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth to seek a career in policing.
The WA Police Force are currently seeking applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, between the age of 18 and 25, who are looking for an exciting opportunity to develop their skills and experience and commence the Aboriginal Cadet Program.
This group of cadets will be deployed to police stations where they will gain exposure to a range of unique policing activities and receive important job related training, including access to mentors to assist them in reaching their potential. In addition, cadets based in the metropolitan area will attend formal class based training, provided in partnership with North Metropolitan TAFE, to gain a nationally accredited qualification on successful completion of the course.
Regional placements at major centres will be considered on a case by case basis, however, the majority of the placements will be in the metropolitan area.
If you are or if you know of a young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander who would be interested in this new and exciting opportunity, please encourage them to contact Hilary King, on (08) 9301 9573 or for further information go to www.stepforward.wa.gov.au.
Applications are currently open and are due to close Friday 24 November 2017 at 4:00pm.
Selection assessments will take place between December 2017 and February 2018 with successful applicants expected to commence the cadetship in April 2018.
Full details of the selection process and application forms are available on https://www.stepforward.wa.gov.au/join-wa-police/aboriginal-cadet/
