Cadets are young leaders who think seriously about their futures. They may not yet know exactly what they want to do in adult life, but they are test-flying potential career interests.
Cadet activities are similar to electives at school, and CAP schedules them mostly as “Saturday” and “school vacation” programs.
Some of the most popular career fields among cadets are contained within the link below, with connections to suggested electives for 1st and 2nd year cadets. Cadets remain free to mix-and-match programs to their liking:

We empower cadets — extraordinary young leaders — to pursue aspirations along three paths:
✈Flight Training, in response to the worldwide pilot shortage
✈Career Exploration in STEM and service-oriented fields at CAP activities like our National Cadet Special Activities (NCSAs)
✈Undergraduate Education
