BFRS Events are designed to connect forward-thinking companies with exceptional talent from the Armed Forces Community (AFC)!

Discover and explore diverse industry sectors, gain insights into current job market trends, understand the qualifications sought by employers, and connect with potential training providers, including those approved by the Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) scheme. BFRS is committed to assisting you in acquiring new qualifications for future employment opportunities.
