Our Objectives

Recognising the need to nurture cadets who are resilient, rugged and responsible citizens, NCDCC seeks to achieve 3 objectives through its activities. The objectives are:

• Imparting CD Knowledge and Skills.

• Developing and Molding of Character and Leadership.

• Imbue Awareness of Homeland Security through National Education
  and Community Service.

“Imparting CD Knowledge and Skills.."
Cadets are expected to be proficient in basic Civil Defence knowledge and also competent in Civil Defence Skills. The achievement of this expectation would render our cadets to be useful citizens who are able to contribute to the society in times of crisis. Over time, it is hoped that NCDCC cadets can use the basic knowledge and skills that they have learnt to further their careers in SCDF where they can actively help the country and the Force to achieve its goal, to " Protect and Serve ” Singapore and the International community at large.

“Developing and Molding of Character and Leadership.."
In the course of their training in NCDCC, ample opportunities would be created for cadets to be practicing leaders. Real life learning through hands on experience in leading would mould the cadets into sensible, competent leaders with a regard for the people they lead and serve . This rite of passage to leadership also helps in character building and adoption of the right values.

“Imbue Awareness of Homeland Security through National Education and Community Service..”
Like many Uniformed Group organisations, NCDCC has a responsibility to create awareness towards homeland security to provide a safer and more secure nation for all to live in. Proactive National Education measures and service learning through community service would contribute to Total Defence as cadets feel a sense of being a stakeholder of this sovereign state they call home.
