Employer Events

Learn about the Reserve Force

Imagine sailing from harbour onboard an operational naval vessel. Imagine flying an aircraft simulator and then taking a ride in the real thing. Imagine watching a group of infantry soldiers crawl through barbed wire at night while live bullets whiz over their heads.

Now imagine that all the soldiers, sailors and air personnel that you see carrying out their duties around you also have civilian jobs – and the courage, leadership, knowledge and dedication they display can be yours for the asking.

It’s not imaginary – it’s very real and you can be there. Employer Events and ExecuTreks take you to Reservists doing their jobs and learning new skills. You’ll even have a chance to take part in some of the activities. And you may even be surprised to discover one of your employees among those dedicated men and women in uniform.

Fostering a better understanding of the value of Reserve service with employers or educational institutions and what it means for them is key to establishing a positive relationship between the Reservist-employee or student in the context of their civilian occupation.

Connect with Director Employer Support Programs, or with your local Reserve Unit to find out what events may be occurring in your area.
