We are excited to be bridging the gap from military service to civilian workplace. 🤝
This event aims to introduce ex-service veterans to employers who can provide them with exciting opportunities for their future careers. 💼
It is a great pleasure to work with the Department of Work and Pensions in partnership to run this event and also have the full support of RAF Marham and Swanton Morley who are looking to release and introduce personnel who are in the process of leaving.
Let’s work together to create a future of endless possibilities for our ex-veterans in the civilian workforce.
