Reserve Officer Training Corps (Canada)

The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) in Canada is a program that provides university students with military training, leadership development, and an understanding of Canada's defense and security roles. Participants can earn practical skills, leadership experience, and sometimes financial incentives such as scholarships or paid summer training, all while completing their academic degrees. The program prepares students to serve as reservists—part-time military personnel—who can be called upon to support national defense, disaster response, and other public safety initiatives. It offers a pathway for students interested in military careers or gaining valuable leadership skills alongside their education.
