<p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) works collaboratively with the Office for Veterans’
Affairs and with other Government Departments to support Service leavers and veterans
transition into civilian employment. The MOD provided significant input into the Government’s
<em>Veterans' Strategy Action Plan: 2022 to 2024</em> and is a member of the newly
formed Veteran Employers Group, which is chaired by the Minister for Veterans Affairs.</p><p>
</p><p>Resettlement services are offered to all personnel leaving the Armed Forces,
with employment support and training delivered through the Career Transition Partnership
(CTP) to all Regular Service leavers. The CTP is the official provider of Armed Forces
resettlement support to all Service Leavers, regardless of time served. The CTP is
a partnering agreement between the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Right Management
Ltd, who are global career development and outplacement specialists and part of the
ManpowerGroup.</p><p> </p><p>This resettlement provision is designed to help personnel
leaving the Armed Forces to prepare for entering the civilian job market and to make
a successful transition to employment or achieve the wider vocational outcome they
seek. Resettlement support is available from two years prior to leaving and two years
after discharge. The provision entitles Service leavers to resettlement support which,
depending on their discharge category, includes duty time, financial assistance and
access to CTP Services. The CTP provision is individually tailored and includes workshops,
seminars, one-to-one career consultancy, resettlement training advice and vocational
training, together with job finding support.</p><p> </p><p>The latest statistics show
that 78% of Service leavers used a billable CTP Service ( Career Transition Partnership
ex-service personnel employment outcomes statistics: index - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) ).
For those Service leavers looking to transition into civilian employment when leaving
the Armed Forces, around 83% are successfully employed within six months of leaving
the Armed Forces. Moreover, the satisfaction rates of Service leavers accessing CTP
support are typically around 90%.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
