SaBRE UPDATE ON EMPLOYER ENGAGEMENT

Employers Abroad and UK Briefing Days

SaBRE in Northern Ireland continues to sponsor senior employers on visits to Reservists on operations overseas and on exercise in the UK and abroad. Employers have been extremely positive about these visits and many comment on the professionalism and enthusiasm of the Reservists they have met. In particular the range of skills displayed that could easily be transferred to the home workplace impressed them.

The visits, which are at no cost to the individual, are designed for Directors/Senior Managers and take place over 2 or 3 days.

Since 2009 we have sent employers to visit Reservists deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq and more recently to see Reservists on exercise in Norway, Cyprus and Denmark.

Get Involved
SaBRE Northern Ireland has a broad ranging and varied programme of events throughout 2015.

Each event/visit offers the opportunity to meet and network with other employers of mobilised and non-mobilised Reservists, see Reservists ‘in action’ and get a flavour of what the Reserve Forces is all about.

IOD, Young Directors Leadership Day
Tornado GR4 visit to FS Aldergrove
Royal Gun Salute & Reception, Hillsborough Castle
Ships visits on board HMS NORTHUMBERLAND and RFA ARGUS
