Veterans in the West Midlands are being offered a helping hand into a new career path with the launch of a specialist scheme.

The programme by Steps To Work is aimed at veterans, reservists and cadets.

The employment support includes helping with job applications, CV building, interview techniques and access to training and development opportunities.

Bhanu Dhir, Chief Executive Officer at Steps To Work, said: “Our support package is one of the ways in which we want to offer our appreciation to those who have given so much to serve the country.

“We feel honoured to be able to give back to soldiers and their families in this way. Through our programme we will be able to share our specialist knowledge to help make a real difference in communities.

“Many soldiers have transferable skills that we believe many employers will find valuable and we look forward to being able to support them as they embark on life outside of the forces.”

The programme is focusing on, but is not limited to, roles that naturally lend themselves well to ex-forces personnel such as transport and logistics, security, IT, project management, construction, engineering and more.
