DP4 PRESIDENT TRAINING (THEORY) DESIGN & DELIVERY

The CMCRB (Canadian Military Colleges Review Board) released their report in January 2025 and found that “the current selection process does not lend itself to equipping future Commandants with the necessary competencies and skills and considers that access to the right training and experience is essential to enable their success. This means that the selection process must happen much earlier, in effect “deep selecting” the Commandants well ahead of their respective appointments.” They also recommended a “Development Period Four Fellowship Program at a civilian university focused on understanding university governance and operations. Timely selection of the Commandant may also allow exposure to university President training programs that are available in Canada and the United States.” The Contractor will design and deliver a custom university president training program for the incoming Commandant and President of RMC, a bilingual civilian-military educational institution offering university degrees. The program will focus on the role of universities, the foundational university governance principles, and academic leadership.
