Encampment Cadre & Staff Webinars
Technology is making it easier for CAP as a national organization to standardize training and lift one another up in terms of program quality. Each spring the National Encampment Best Practices Team hosts a webinar series for encampment cadre and staff so that those individuals have an opportunity to hear practical tips on how to perform their jobs well. We’ll have some superb people from across the nation leading the webinars in a panel discussion, with opportunity for audience participation as well.
Everyone is welcome. No prior approval from the chain of command is needed for this opportunity, and cadets don’t even need to possess a cadre assignment to participate. In fact, if a cadet participates in a webinar before interviewing for a cadre slot, that experience should make him or her a more competitive candidate.
