The events are organised by companies who are working
with the Veterans Employment Transition Support
(VETS)
programme. Alex Jablonowski of London VAPC and
a member of the VETS steering
committee said:
The VETS scheme
continues to enrol substantial numbers of veterans
seeking career opportunities. We also have a strong
flow of mentors coming forward to advise and counsel
those veterans. 37 signed up in just one week recently!
Job opportunities are continuing to grow and several
new corporate partners have signed up in the past weeks
who bring with them new roles and mentors.
In addition to the events mentioned below, new roles
are constantly being added to the VETS Website and
it is well worth looking at these and forthcoming
events to view opportunities which you may not have
considered.
The following events are designed for veterans interested
in a career in financial services:
- 2 to 6 October 2017, Bishopsgate: free week’s
training course on management consultancy in the
financial services sector, for more information
contact adam.libbey@bishopsgate-financial.com or

- 20 October 2017, Barclays military cyber awareness:
Barclays are already a major employer of veterans, and
are offering a series of presentations about the
different functions within Barclays and the roles
available, for more information contact john.chantry2@barclays.com
VETS is
a coalition of partners that have come together to
support all veterans as they seek to find the right job.
The coalition consists of a broad range of leading
companies from across the commercial sector such as
Barclays, Carillion, Deloitte, Jaguar Land Rover, the
Ministry of Defence, the Career Transition Partnership as
well as service charities.
VETS aims
to join up the existing transition support initiatives
into a single programme that significantly improves
employment outcomes for veterans and businesses.
