Free tickets available now

Local businesses are being invited to attend an event highlighting the 'benefits and opportunities of employing ex-military in the workplace'.

Taking place on Monday 29 September, at the Comis Hotel, the event will highlight the wide range of transferable skills and qualifications veterans offer, and how they can help address skills shortages across all sectors, from entry-level positions to senior roles.

Attendees will also hear how organisations can engage with the Armed Forces Covenant, including practical steps to sign up and the benefits of becoming a signatory.

Jan Cox, Defence Relationship Manager, UK Ministry of Defence says: "We are delighted to partner with Locate Isle of Man to host an informative event for local organisations, aimed at raising awareness of the Armed Forces Covenant and the breath of skills, experience and qualifications that ex-armed forces personnel can bring to the Isle of Man’s workforce.

"We are honoured to announce Lieutenant Commander Tom Pinfold, Royal Navy, as our keynote speaker, alongside several esteemed local speakers who will share their real-life experiences of transitioning from military service to civilian life on the Isle of Man and showcase the Covenant in action."

The 'Ex-Military Talent in the Workplace Business Leader Forum' will be hosted by the UK’s Ministry of Defence, with support from Locate Isle of Man.
