British Forces Re-settlement Services (BFRS) is powering up for 2022 with a series of its increasingly successful Jobs Fairs planned.
Its post Covid-lockdown return to face-to-face events at Tidworth in late September saw over 700 current and potential transitionees pile in to the garrison town’s Leisure Centre to connect with over 60 exhibitors from BAE Systems Saudi Arabia and other defence manufacturers to the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation, Amazon, DHL and a raft of other companies and organisations across many sectors, including the police and other blue light services, healthcare, construction and financial services.
“Online Job Fairs were obviously essential during the various lockdowns,” says BFRS Managing Director Neil Dean,” but for many on both sides of the employment market, nothing beats face-to-face get togethers for trust and relationship building between potential employees and employers”, he adds.
“That said, blending physical with virtual events is a good way forward – there will always be people who just can’t make the journey for some reason – Covid or no Covid”.
BFRS events, provide the Armed Forces Community (AFC) with a great opportunity to meet and network with employers, enabling AFC members to find out about the broad range of industry sectors available to them. As well as meeting with potential employers, AFC members are also able to find explore the different qualifications they may need and meet with potential ELC-approved training providers.
