High School Work Experience Credit
The Alberta Junior Forest Ranger (JFR) program exposes students to careers options in the Forestry and Wildlife field.
Because the Alberta JFR program is a work experience program, several participants have gone on to obtain Work Experience credits.
Before submitting their application, students must build a plan with their school’s work experience coordinator for the student’s evaluation. The work experience coordinator will contact the JFR Program Specialist, and organize a site visit or phone interview.
