The National Cadet Program, which was established on June 11, 1986 by former President Samuel Kanyon Doe, is among other things geared towards empowering Liberians especially youth and graduating senior students.
The targeted beneficiaries will be placed into public and private institutions to acquire relevant job experience for possible employment.
