The SVK MOD has launched a marketing and communication campaign in support of Armed Forces recruitment. The motto of the campaign is: ‘Deeds, not words, make heroes – join us!’, subtitled ʻDo you like Slovakia? Prove it!’
Over the past days, the MOD has conducted a tender for renting billboards and citylights via the electronic contracting system. A number of promotion materials, such as videos, posters, handouts, and texts for social networks, web portals, and printed media, are ready for distribution.
Soldiers and children, to whom soldiers are heroes and a source of great inspiration, will be the faces of the campaign. In a press conference held at the MOD today (18 March 2019), Defence Minister Peter Gajdoš set out concrete steps the MOD will take as part of the recruitment campaign.
In his statement, Defence Minister Peter Gajdoš said: “I believe no one in the Slovak Republic will cast any doubt on the fact that our service personnel are heroes, because they are the guarantors of our security. As I am convinced that every young person wants to be a hero, I believe the motto will motivate young people to enlist in the SVK Armed Forces.”
The campaign highlights the Service benefits of which not many people may be aware and could provide additional motivation for them to join the Armed Forces. The MOD wants to emphasise that it is drafting changes in order to improve the Service conditions. As already announced, among them is a Service pay rise of up to 30%.
The SVK Armed Forces Personnel Office has today launched an admission process for Voluntary Military Training (VMT) candidates. Applicants are invited to submit their application forms to the Army Recruitment Teams, based in Slovakia’s regional capital cities. The application deadline is on 10 June 2019. Just as in previous years, once again they will undertake an 11-week training course, with a focus on marching drills, marksmanship, engineering, signal, medical and tactical training, live fire exercises, and familiarisation with soldiers’ basic duties and responsibilities. On completion of the VMT course, successful graduates will receive a financial reward of over €1,100.
