If you are a military spouse or partner (all genders), we’re here to support your career journey. Join our inspiring three‑day hybrid workshop, designed to help you unlock your potential and connect with employers who genuinely value the unique strengths of the military community.
We also warmly welcome female veterans, female reservists, and young people from military families (18-24 years of age) to participate in this series.
“There was a sense of community and support. I felt motivated and prepared to pursue career opportunities with employers who value military families.”
What is Empowering You?
This unique hybrid event blends virtual learning with in‑person workshops at two prestigious Barclays campuses across London, Glasgow and Knutsford.
This isn’t just another workshop. It’s a career accelerator, a confidence catalyst, and a community-building experience that lasts long after the final session.
Why join us?
- Confidence Restoration: walk away with renewed self-belief and a clear understanding of the value your military-connected experiences bring to the workplace.
- Career Activation: take immediate, practical steps toward your next role — from applications and training to mentoring and employer connections.
- Community Building: join a supportive network of like‑minded people who motivate, uplift, and champion each other’s success.
