CAREER PURSUIT 2021

RESOURCES 57 BENEFITS OF BEING AN ONLINE MEMBER The MCN can support you wherever you are. Online membership is completely free, and it is easy to join via the website. This will give you access to a host of benefits: networking ‘Power Hours’, welcome webinars, skill share sessions and ‘NetworkNatters’, member discounted training courses, and a FREE business directory. ONLINE COMMUNITY At the heart of coworking is collaboration; the Facebook Military Coworking Community group is a safe space to ask questions, share information, and connect with other members to find out how they are building careers and businesses that work around their military lifestyles.There are no silly questions and there is always someone who has been there and done that and willing to share their experience. ONLINE EVENTS The MCN has a busy programme of online events that you can join live or, inmost cases, catch up on the recordings later in the members area of the website. Each month, networking Power Hours feature a guest speaker to discover the support they can offer to our members. Previous Power Hours have included Recruit for Spouses, The Warrior Programme, and Advance Virtual Assistants who spoke about the role that virtual assistants can have in your small business and how to go about starting out in this flexible, remote career option. Other online events include monthly welcome webinars, to learnmore about theMCN and meet other members, and ad hoc topics such as our ‘Money Talks’ week where we opened up the conversation about money by discussing topics such as the gender pension gap, how to fund your business, and how to realise the value you offer and charge for it. BUSINESS DIRECTORY Our FREE online business directory is a great way of getting your business known to the military community, and beyond. As an online member, you can list your business, and next time you need a gift or service and would like to support a business from the military community, you will know where to look!
