Adult Training: The Foundation for Cadet Success

Posted on August 17, 2023 at 2:43 PM by Elizabeth Hornbach

Adult training programs such as Training Leaders of Cadets (TLC), Cadet Protection Program (CPP) and the Cadet Programs Specialty Track are the main resources for Cadet Programs Officers to gain professional development. As we endeavor to strategically position CAP for the future to Shape lives, build character, and ready young people for futures in aerospace and beyond, a goal in the strategic plan is to broaden adult leaders' capabilities as youth development professionals, equipping them to be champions of positive youth development practices proven effective in other youth organizations.
