The Armed Forces Covenant: How Employers Can Get Involved

We are delighted to host a webinar for employers to find out more about the Armed Forces Covenant on the 28 July from 14:00 – 15:00.

The webinar, which will be presented by the Defence Relationship Management team will bring the Covenant to life, showing how organisations can demonstrate support for the armed forces community while also strengthening their workforce through access to talented reservists, service leavers, veterans and military families.

This session will help you understand the support available, the benefits of becoming more forces-friendly, and the simple steps your organisation can take to start making a difference.

Find Your Thing Events in Trafford, Wythenshawe and Stockport 

Colleagues in Greater Manchester are shaping a series of three interactive careers events to inspire 18–29 year olds as follows:

  • Wythenshawe 14 July at Wythenshawe Forum Library

They are looking for employers and providers who can commit to attend all three events, if possible, to offer interactive demonstrations and embed ideas by trying something, not just hearing about job roles/training.

Activities do not need to be complex - simple, engaging, and hands‑on works best, such as:

  • Try‑a‑skill activities eg, wire a plug, resuscitation dummy, etc
  • Practical challenges or problem‑solving tasks
  • Equipment or tools demonstrations
  • VR, simulators, or scenario‑based activities
  • Short, engaging tasters showing what a typical role might involve

By taking part, you will:

  • Inspire young people and raise awareness of your sector
  • Promote apprenticeships, entry‑level roles and pathways into work
  • Engage people who may not thrive in classroom‑based learning
  • Positively showcase your organisation’s commitment to the local community

 Support on the day:

  • Tables, power and space for activities (where required)
  • Staff to manage flow and engagement
  • Promotion of your organisation ahead of the event

If this is something which you can support, please register your interest by emailing:

Thanks for considering supporting our young people. We would love it if you could be involved.
