The Royal Navy’s Area Engagement Team aim to engage with young people from diverse sections of the community and provide a better understanding of the roles which the Royal Navy undertake. The team offer the opportunities for young people to enhance and develop various skill sets such as team building, leadership and communication through any online platform, a good addition to a zoom programme.
The team have assured us that their job is not to recruit, it is to help stimulate the minds of young persons through relevant sessions and to enrich their understanding of the Royal Navy with some fun and learning, they are happy to discuss any particular concerns before any session.
The team consists of regular and full time reservists. They all come with various experience and adventures to talk about. They also have different trades and backgrounds within the Service, including a submariner, aircraft engineer, mine warfare specialist and a chef.
They can deliver virtual webinars on the following:
1. Webinars on how the RN operates/its roles

3. Various presentations on life in the RN, HMS Queen Elizabeth, Humanitarian aid etc
4. Q&A on requested related subjects
