answer text <p>Veterans who need support from the department in finding employment are able to get support from their Work Coach. For those who might need extra specialist support, we have a network of Armed Forces Champions spread throughout the Jobcentre Plus network.</p><p> </p><p>The Armed Forces Champions have specific responsibilities for supporting members of the Armed Forces community, including building staff capability within their districts, personally handling some claims, supporting veterans into work and helping resolve complex cases where necessary. Every Work Coach is trained on how to provide tailored and personalised support to members of the Armed Forces community and their families, working in partnership with their Armed Forces Champions.</p><p> </p><p>Veterans have early voluntary entry to the Work and Health Programme. Other employment support may be available to veterans depending on their circumstances, including specialist local support provided by the third sector which the department may be able to refer them to. Veterans generally enjoy successful employment outcomes when they leave the services, and the Career Transition Partnership has published annual statistics on those they have supported.</p>

answer text <p>Resettlement services are offered to all personnel leaving the Regular Armed Forces with employment support and training delivered through the an official provider, the Career Transition Partnership (CTP). CTP supports the transition from military to civilian life through a range of career and employment support services . CTP works with hundreds of employers who recognise the talent pool leaving the Armed Forces and the skills, experience and strong working ethos Service leavers bring with them after a military career.</p><p> </p><p>Although the CTP service is available to all personnel who qualify, some may choose not to use it. From 27 November 2023 all Service leavers have been automatically registered with the CTP and must now actively ‘opt out’.</p><p> </p><p>Over the past 25 years the CTP has provided transition support to over 310,000 Service leavers across all ranks and Services, with an average of 15,000 accessing the programme each year. Defence Statistics have published annual figures detailing employment outcomes for Service leavers who left during 2021/22 on <a href="http://www.GOV.uk" target="_blank">www.GOV.uk</a> - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/career-transition-partnership-ex-service-personnel-employment-outcomes-financial-year-202122" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/career-transition-partnership-ex-service-personnel-employment-outcomes-financial-year-202122</a>. 87% of Service personnel who left the UK Armed Forces and used a billable CTP service were employed after six months.</p>

answer text <p>This Government is committed to ensuring that all veterans have equity of opportunity and access into valuable, sustainable careers after they leave the Armed Forces.</p><p><strong><br></strong>That is why, we recently launched a £700,000 Career Development Fund, which will make funding available for qualifications, training and skills development to veterans and their families across the UK. Whilst this funding aims to support veterans of all backgrounds, the grant specifically encourages applications from groups and organisations which seek to engage with and support veterans of ethnic minority backgrounds.<strong><br></strong></p> more like this
