<p>UK Service personnel with four or more years’ Service who voluntarily left the
Armed Forces in Financial Year 2014-15 (the latest statistic available) and used the
Career Transition Partnership (CTP) services had the following estimated employment
outcomes, up to six months after leaving:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Service</p></td><td><p>Employed
%</p></td><td><p>Economically Inactive %</p></td><td><p>Unemployed %</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Royal
Navy</p></td><td><p>89% (1,950)</p></td><td><p>7% (160)</p></td><td><p>3% (70)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Army</p></td><td><p>84%
(6,560)</p></td><td><p>9% (690)</p></td><td><p>7% (510)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Royal
Air Force</p></td><td><p>83% (1,710)</p></td><td><p>14% (290)</p></td><td><p>4% (70)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total
Average %</p></td><td><p>85% (10,220)</p></td><td><p>10% (1,150)</p></td><td><p>6%
(640)</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>Notes:</strong> The Ministry
of Defence (MOD) does not record the training outcomes of Service leavers. The following
categories of personnel have been included in the definition of those leaving Service
voluntarily; those reaching the end of their engagement; those giving notice to terminate
and those medically discharged. Figures include all Service leavers who used the Career
Transition Partnership, less Early Service Leavers (this includes those with less
than four years’ service and those compulsorily discharged). The numbers and percentages
for employment outcomes cannot be summed together, as the unemployment figures were
calculated on a different population to the employment and economically inactive figures.
All totals and sub-totals have been rounded and so may not equal the sums of their
rounded parts. When rounding to the nearest 10, numbers ending in “5” have been rounded
to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.</p><p> </p><p>For Early
Service Leavers (ESL i.e. those with less than four years service or those compulsorily
discharged irrespective of length of Service), the Future Horizons Programme (FHP)
for ESL was introduced on 1 October 2013. Between 1 October 2013 and 31 March 2014
approximately 33% of eligible personnel participated in FHP. During Financial Year
2014-15 some 62% of eligible personnel participated in the Future Horizons Programme.
Prior to the establishment of FHP all ESL were entitled to unit level support as part
of standard MOD policy.</p><p> </p><p>From 1 October 2015, the resettlement provision
for ESL is termed CTP Future Horizons. Official statistics on the six-months post-discharge
employment status of ESL who used CTP Future Horizons will be published in January
2017 as part of the CTP official statistic.</p><p> </p>
