'Tech Talks' is an interactive online CAF Engagement presentation that features CAF members. These episodes provide a general awareness of the many CAF occupations not normally seen in the popular media. Cadets can log-in from their corps/sqn, or on their own devices, for an introduction to, and interaction with, some of the many technicians that keep our ships afloat, soldiers on the ground, and aircraft in the sky. This episode features a Nursing Officer who service and maintain CAF aircraft, ground equipment and associated support facilities. We will conduct a panel discussion with our guest speaker. Since ‘Tech Talks’ features CAF members and occupations not commonly seen in TV and movies, Cadets are free to ask any questions via the teams chat!
