Training

Research by Leeds Business School shows that the value to civilian employers of the training received by members of the Volunteer Reserve Forces is £377 million.

Value to employers

Personal skills

Reservists undertake training throughout the year. They learn skills that many organisations do not have money or time to provide.

The average Reservist receives training in skills that can be transferred to the civilian workplace and would cost you, as an employer, over £9,000 per year to provide. In contrast, the average employee receives only £822 worth of training per year.
