The Army Reserve Employer Partnership Initiative:
- Helps drive employment opportunities for Soldiers by formalizing the relationships between the Army Reserve and private sector businesses, each sharing common goals of strengthening local communities, supporting Army Reserve Soldiers, and growing a stronger economy.
- Businesses and the Army Reserve can collaborate on mutually beneficial staffing solutions to attract, develop and retain a skilled workforce.
- Civilian Employers and the Army Reserve have a link to talented, highly capable Soldier-Employees who are trained and experienced in real-world situations, giving a competitive edge for the Employer and the Army Reserve in the marketplace and in defense to our Nation.
- Signature initiative of Chief of the Army Reserve Lt. Gen. Jack Stultz to assist Soldiers with their civilian careers and professional development in recognition of their dedication to our country and their selfless service.
- Launched in April 2008 as a mechanism to build and augment skills used by Soldiers in both their civilian and military occupations.
- Open to all Employers across the United States who value the unique strengths and work ethic of Army Reserve Soldiers.
- Includes Partners spanning a variety of industries, in particular those in which the Army Reserve maintains core competencies, such as health care, logistics, transportation, information technology, telecommunications, skilled trades and law enforcement.
- An interface between Employers and the Army Reserve to advance discussions about employing members of the Army Reserve and how to effectively accommodate Employers and Soldiers when called to active duty.
- Results in a highly skilled Soldier-Employee who makes immediate and meaningful contributions in the civilian workplace and serves the Army Reserve in critically understaffed military occupational specialties.
- Sustains a viable operational Army Reserve, capable of caring for Soldiers and Families, while meeting the economic and security needs of our Nation.
