They also manage a network of employers who are supportive of the Armed Forces and encourage more employers to sign the Armed Forces Covenant or apply for a Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Award.

NW RFCA staff host or attend a number of engagement events throughout the year and these are also the responsibility of the Employer Engagement office to coordinate and attend as appropriate.
