UK employers' perceptions of employment and employability ex-Service personnel

Abstract: Finding employment is one of the key ingredients of a Service person’s (and their family’s) successful transition into civilian life. As this report acknowledges, many transition successfully with only a minimum amount of support. Others though, for a variety of reasons, find transition harder. In a period of recent history when public support for the UK’s Armed Forces has never been higher, the willingness of UK businesses to help veterans into employment is welcome, and in tune with society.
