What skills do Reservists bring to the civilian work force?
A6. Canadian Reservists are highly motivated, very capable men and women. The skills Reservists develop in the military include demonstrably superior leadership, strong work ethics, management, problem solving skills, communications and leadership ability, and teamwork. Many of the technical skills they learn through military training and experience are easily transferred to the civilian workplace. Providing a Military Leave policy will benefit the employer / educational institution and the Reservists, and will help ensure that Reservists bring back these highly valuable skills to their civilian workplaces.
