According to the City of Edmonton, Fire cadets can earn up to six high school credits for their involvement in the program.

“Through a mix of classroom and hands-on programming, students can learn the importance of mental and physical wellness and teamwork, all while building employment skills and experiencing the day-to-day work of a firefighter,” wrote the city in a release.
