Guidance counselors are there to help. They help students and professionals determine ways to achieve their career goals. They evaluate an individual's interests and abilities, advise on possible career pathways and give practical suggestions about how to go about securing a desired position.
Currently, just over 15 percent of the Canadian armed forces are women, but less than 1 percent of the infantry is female. Womenâs integration in the combat arms may be possible but it is likely to involve a tiny number of women.
During World War One, there was virtually no female presence in the Canadian armed forces, with the exception of the 3141 nurses serving both overseas and on the home front. Of these women, 328 had been decorated by King George V, and 46 gave their lives in the line of duty.
