Abstract

Youth development (YD) is the precondition of national human resource development of a country and the youth development programs (YDP) of Bangladesh National Cadet Corps (BNCC) is an integral intervention in this regard. This study aims at evaluating the performance of the YDPs of BNCC considering the secondary data on different community service and individual traits &skill development programs. The descriptive statistical method is used here to evaluate the performance of YDPs. Hence, adjusted mean score is used to rank the YDP performances while the coefficient of variation is calculated to evaluate the consistency status of the YDPs of BNCC. It is revealed from the study that, the performance of leadership and communication skill development program is highly consistent and the overall performance of BNCC’s YDP is very promising too. This research has explored the performance of YDP of a Government YD organization in Bangladesh. The results of the study could be a valuable contribution to the existing body of knowledge on YD and could facilitate similar types of YD organizations to outline their future strategic direction.
