Testimonial
The RAC process is an excellent way of easing into civilian life.
Hugo Bouchard
Former military member and ACS graduate in Gestion de groupe et organisation du travail
The RAC process is an excellent way of easing into civilian life.
I really appreciated how professional and efficient people were. Everything fell into place quickly and easily. During my RAC process, my discussions with the specialists were very enriching. They had tons of experience in my field, which gave me another perspective on the civilian world and its practices. I now have tools which I can even use in my military career. The RAC process is an excellent way of easing into civilian life; it officially recognizes the skills you’ve acquired and gives you a diploma that future employers value. I came out of it with a great deal of personal pride and a better way of working. It was a springboard that propelled me to go further and pursue university studies in administration.
