The Young Britons' Foundation is offering the unique opportunity for Citadel cadets to spend three months in London while gaining first-hand experience of the British political system and acquiring new skills and knowledge that will be invaluable to their future careers. The Young Britons' Foundation can offer each cadet a two-month placement with a Member of Parliament who will preferably have a background or interest in foreign and/or defense policy. The cadets will then spend a four week placement with one of Britain's leading think thanks - the Adam Smith Institute, the Henry Jackson Society, the TaxPayers' Alliance and Big Brother Watch. Through this scheme the cadets will develop valuable personal, leadership, and work-related skills, understand better the structure of the British parliamentary system, learn in depth about the big issue of the day in the UK and abroad, and develop practical skills from working with some of the best campaigning groups the UK has to offer.
