To provide professional development for senior cadets applying to fill senior appointments (at the rank of CPO2/MWO/WO2 or CPO1/CWO/WO1) at CTC, RCSU Central will be conducting a trial Senior Staff Cadet Selection Board (SSCSB). Additionally, our intent is to make selections for senior staff cadet positions prior to the start of the CTC, allowing them to be integrated into the command structure at the CTC. This professional development and assessment session will be hosted at Trenton CTC 12-16 Mar 24 for 30 cadets.

Pre-requisites for cadets to attend the SSCSB:
1) Submission of an application for staff cadet at one of the RCSU Central CTCs (Blackdown, HMCS Ontario, Trenton);
2) Must be Phase5/Master Cadet/Level 5 qualified;
3) Previous experience as a staff cadet at the rank of Sgt/PO2 or greater at a CTC or CAP; and
4) Cadets will be selected by the selection board to attend this training (there is no application process for this opportunity).

To support us, we ask you clearly write or type something in the “Significant Achievements or Other Required or Relevant Information.” This will be copied and pasted into your application when we submit it.

Selected cadets will be notified on 5 Mar 2024 (or shortly thereafter).
