Skills in Transition: How UK Service leavers can power the nation’s economic future

Military Service leavers bring vital skills to the UK workforce, but are we fully aware of their potential?

Despite their proven capabilities, some Service leavers can face challenges in translating military experience into civilian opportunity. Our latest research, carried out in collaboration with global labour market intelligence leader Lightcast, explores the transition from military to civilian employment, highlighting the unique strengths of Service leavers and the wide range of opportunities available to them across the UK.

We are proud to launch this new report examining how Service leavers contribute to a skilled, resilient and future-ready workforce. Drawing on our experience as the official provider of resettlement services for the Armed Forces, the report offers practical insights into how employers can better recognise and harness military-acquired skills and identifies five key areas where Service leavers bring exceptional value.

This report shares data-driven insights and real-world examples to help employers and policymakers widen opportunities for Service leavers across the regions and nations of the UK.
