Applicants will be applying to cadre and will be considered for every position but are able to express interest in certain positions.

The encampment team has made the decision to hold Cadre Assessment Exercise (VCAX) virtually this year, due to safety concerns associated with COVID-19. What this means for applicants: 

• Applicants will receive an acceptance packet, that contains a series of virtual assessments for the applicant to complete. The evaluation packet will be sent to applicants after April 25th and must be completed and submitted by May 9th.
  • The virtual assessments and interview will allow applicants to demonstrate their aptitude in areas of tactical leadership core competencies and specialty competencies for specific jobs being evaluated for. This includes drill, uniform wear, customs and courtesies, knowledge of pertinent cadet program manuals (especially CAWGP 60-70), and written and oral communication skills.
• Virtual interviews will be scheduled with the applicant between the time they apply until the 28th of April. The interviews will take place on Microsoft Teams.
• Applicants will be notified by Monday, 17 May 2021 with the results of the cadre selection. Applicants who are selected for Encampment Cadre positions will be expected to be present virtually during the training that will be occurring prior to Encampment.
• There is no cost for Virtual CAX. It’s FREE to apply!
