There has been a huge shift in the narrative around veterans over the last ten years, to a recognition that veterans possess key attributes and in-demand skills that make them an important national resource for UK business.
The world of work has changed dramatically, and veterans are better placed than ever to fill crucial skills gaps and provide resilience.
Veterans Work has produced a new report that examines how far we have come and what work there is still to do.
Veterans Work: Then & Now report takes stock and celebrates positive progress that has been made in the veteran employment space in the last decade. It also shines a light on the remaining challenges veterans face when looking for civilian work, and further improvements that could be made. The report involved surveying over 900 veterans and 500 employers in the UK – both employers who engaged in veteran recognition and employment schemes, and employers with no scheme in place.
