Join us as part of the Black Country Business Festival to discover all you need to know about the Armed Forces Covenant, the role of the Armed Forces Reserves, and how their skills and qualifications can be transferred into your business.

With the Reserve Forces making up nearly one third of the UK’s Armed Forces, they receive the same world-class training as their Regular counterparts.  Not only do they learn military skills, but they gain strong leadership, communication, teamwork, organisation and problem solving skills; all highly desirable skills to have in the civilian workplace.

Join us for a special networking event and hear from:

• Captain Andy Johnstone from the Army Reserves – 159 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps
• Reservist stories
• West Midland Reserve Forces & Cadets Association
• Secure Pro (ERS Silver 2021 award winner)

You will better understand the process of employing Reservists and also learn about the Employer Recognition Scheme, which publicly recognises employers’ efforts to support Defence and the Armed Forces Community.

There will also be plenty of opportunities to ask questions!

When?

Thursday 7 October from 08:00am – 10:30am. In person event.

Where?

Army Reserve Centre (237 Supply Squadron – 159 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps), Normandy House, Carters Green, West Bromwich, B70 9LP
