The RCMP wants Grade 11 students who “identify as women” to apply for an internship in a new initiative that has sparked a wave of backlash against the federal police.

The RCMP unveiled on X a recruitment drive specifically targeting high school students in grade 11 who identify as women.

“We’re looking for high school students in grade 11 who identify as women. If that’s you and you’re curious about a career in public safety, we have a full week’s worth of paid work for you! Registration closes in 2 weeks,” wrote the RCMP.

According to the application page, the “student employment opportunity” is 150 full-time positions paying $16.84 per hour for one week. Girls from Edmonton, Kingston, Moncton, Montreal Island, Ottawa and Surrey can apply.
