answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2021 answer text <p>Veterans offer a vast range of skills and talent to civilian employers and the Government recognises that having a job is one of the key foundations for those leaving the Armed Forces to transition into civilian life. This is why the Government is taking a number of steps to support veterans into employment such as making it easier to join the Civil Service and introducing a national insurance tax break for their employers. The MOD’s Careers Transition Partnership supports Service leavers entering the job market. Of the 2018/19 UK regular service leavers who used a CTP service, and reported their employment outcomes, 86% were employed, 8% economically inactive, and 6% unemployed six months after using the service.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 18/01/2021 17:55:47 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer
