Officer Training Corps (OTC)

The Officer Training Corps (OTC) is a military training program primarily for university students in the UK. It aims to develop leadership skills, military knowledge, and practical experience. Participants, known as cadets, engage in both theoretical and hands-on training, which includes physical fitness, teamwork, and basic military tactics. While OTC cadets are not obligated to join the armed forces after training, many choose to pursue a career in the military or apply their leadership skills in civilian roles. The program fosters personal development, resilience, and a sense of community among young leaders.
