Opportunities include virtual training, the locally delivered Cadet Activities Program, several courses delivered at Cadet Training Centre’s across Canada, employment as a staff cadet, and pilot training scholarships. These programs and courses range from 4 days, up to 7 weeks in duration. They are designed to be fun and challenging, while encouraging the cadet’s professional development.
