Partners
OnBoarding Officers is proud to have established and be continuously expanding its Community of Partners who share the same values and goals; supporting exiting military officers on their journey post service.
These Partners play a vitally important role in helping to create the prestigious OnBoarding Officers Community truly unique.
OnBoarding Officers will provide opportunities for Members to personally meet and maximise contacts with the Partners at networking events that will run periodically, including the Alumni dinner.
Recent examples of how this exclusive networking and contact base is working in practice include Members of the Alumni attending Boardroom Observations, attendance at mini workshops and drinks receptions, online vlogs about Member experiences and face-to-face meetings for the Alumni with Nurole, the disruptive online platform democratising access to board level roles.
OnBoarding Officers is proud to announce that the Officers’ Association is endorsing the initiative.
DAC Beachcroft is the headline Partner for 2020 and will be sponsoring all cohorts taking place in London.

Officers’ Association
Established in 1920, the Officers’ Association exists to help officers as they transition from a military to a civilian career. The aim of any career transition is to achieve a fulfilling and sustainable career; one that takes into account individual circumstances, aspirations and skills. We help to make this happen. We champion the skills and qualities of the officer job seeker and provide evidence based research in support of our work. Last year we worked with over 4,700 officers from across the Armed Forces as they moved into civilian employment.
