the Justice Institute of BC, is holding three additional orientation
sessions for Okanagan residents interested in becoming correctional
officers.
Previously scheduled sessions held in Osoyoos, Oliver and Penticton
were well-received, with 290 people attending the initial two-hour
orientation sessions and just over 200 attending or registered for the
more in-depth readiness sessions.
The new Okanagan Correctional Centre (OCC) will create more than 240
correctional officer positions in the area. With it slated for
completion in 2016, these sessions will help prepare those interested
for the next steps in the process.

correctional work, including the culture, safety and security, team
work and professionalism, which are fundamental aspects of the job:

* Nov. 22, 2014 – Justice Institute, Kelowna – 9-11 a.m.
