Serve Your Nation, Propel Your Civilian Career
Lt. Gen. Jack C. Stultz, Chief of the Army Reserve, created the Employer Partnership Initiative for you. As a former consumer goods operations executive, Stultz knew America’s Employers would appreciate a direct link to some of America’s finest employees – Army Reserve Soldiers. At the same time, Army Reserve Soldiers can have two meaningful careers – one with the Army Reserve and the other with an Employer Partner.
Through the Initiative, you can more effectively leverage your Army Reserve training and experience for career opportunities in today’s civilian job market with national, regional and local Employer Partners.
Build Career Opportunities
You can gain a competitive advantage over other job hunters. Employer Partners know that Army Reserve Soldiers come to them after having undergone rigorous training and challenging experiences. In addition, depending on your military training, you may have applicable credentialing and licensing that might allow you to immediately begin work. Since the leadership abilities and team-building skills you've developed in the military are highly valued in the civilian world, you'll enjoy another advantage over other job seekers who may not have had the same training and professional development opportunities as you.

Army Strong, Work Smart
By actively connecting Soldiers and Employer Partners, Army Reserve Citizen-Soldiers will gain access to job opportunities through the country and learn about additional platforms for professional advancement, enhancing both their military and civilian careers. This public-private joint venture aims to assist Soldiers and businesses with facilitating the transition that comes with a Soldier-Employee’s leave of absence from the civilian workplace to serve the Nation. With the Army Reserve’s five-year rotational training and deployment schedule in development and refinement, Soldiers and their Families have the chance to prepare better for an upcoming deployment and Employers are afforded a more predictable picture of their future staffing needs.
Through the Employer Partnership Initiative, the Army Reserve is always looking for ways to provide additional training and credentialing opportunities for Army Reserve Soldiers to keep them competitive. Soldiers can use their Army Reserve training and skills to meet the needs of today’s civilian job market.
A Good Fit with Business
Employer Partners appreciate the unique circumstances Soldiers encounter while balancing civilian work demands with service to the country. Employer Partnership field representatives are available to assist in matching a Soldier and his or her military occupational specialty with an Employer seeking those same work skills.
The Army Reserve is the only military service that offers this ground-breaking and innovative Employer Partnership Initiative. The Army Reserve is the product of choice for patriotic men and women who have a personal plan and want to improve the lives of people around the world. Due to their unique training, strong skills and selfless dedication, Army Reserve Soldiers are capable of responding quickly to secure and defend the homeland, support and sustain the operating force during war, and at the same time advance their civilian career goals with Employer Partners.
Employer Partners who hire Army Reserve Soldiers may see potential cost savings in recruiting and training. Army Reserve Soldiers are pre-screened, and can apply their skills and credentials in the workplace almost immediately. This partnership is a win-win situation for Soldiers, Employers and the Nation as a whole.
