Cadets in L5 need to complete this workshop as a component of their training.

This will be held virtually – a one day event.

Cadets need to be signed up to attend.

Once accepted – cadets will be given a choice to select their preferred workshops:

Time Management – This workshop will provide cadets with tools to better manage their busy schedules.
Topics for discussion include managing stress, honouring commitments, meeting deadlines, limiting
procrastination, identifying and dealing with scheduling changes, keeping an agenda, and multi-tasking.
Supervision – This workshop explores what it means to be a good supervisor and, more specifically, what
to look for as a supervisor. Through various discussions and activities, this workshop provides the
opportunity for the cadets to recognize the importance of effective supervision. Cadets take a closer look
at their supervisory responsibilities with regard to enforcing the rules and factors that affect supervisor
and subordinate alike (e.g., peer pressure). Additionally, cadets will take a look at some of the reasons
why cadets leave the program, how these reasons may relate to supervision, and how they can help retain cadets in the program.

~

Ethics: Making Tough Choices – This workshop will provide cadets with the opportunity to discuss
ethics with their peers as it relates to their role as a cadet. It has been designed to include a discussion on
what ethics is and how it is present in all aspects of life. Cadets will work through case studies to examine
their own perceptions of ethics and how ethical decision-making can often require making tough choices.

~
Corrective Action and Positive Reinforcement – This workshop challenges cadets’ perception of
discipline within the cadet program. Corrective action and positive reinforcement should be seen as two
sides of the same coin and applied equally to all subordinates. Topics such as appropriate corrective
action, why we correct and the importance of positive reinforcement will be discussed along with cadets’
own personal experiences, both good and bad. Topics from Positive Social Relations for Youth will be
discussed and cadets will participate in practical conflict management scenarios.
