A strong Volunteer Reserve Force means a more cost-effective use of public funds – providing effective defence at a fraction of the cost of an equivalent regular force – which is good news for any corporate or private taxpayer.

Training within the Volunteer Reserve Forces focuses on building confidence, self-reliance, self-motivation and physical fitness as well as developing qualities such as leadership, communication and specific skills that can be utilised directly within a company. It is the transferable nature of these skills, from Volunteer Reserve Force to workplace, that makes supporting your employees so worthwhile. Support for the Volunteer Reserve Forces will develop into a "profitable partnership". A partnership that allows you, the employer, to benefit from the training your Volunteer employees receive, whilst allowing the Volunteer Reserve Forces to continue to fulfil their vital role in the defence of the realm.

This training can also lead to recognised awards in the National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications, City & Guilds and many other nationally recognised standards – and all this training is given free.
