The Forces Employment Charity Families Programme exists to provide life-long, life-changing support, job opportunities, and training to Service leavers, veterans, reservists and their families, irrespective of circumstances, rank, length of service, or reason for leaving.
Their Families Programme supports spouses and partners of still-serving personnel and veterans, including divorced, separated, and bereaved, on their journey into employment; regardless of whether you are in the UK or overseas.
Forces Employment Charity says, "We understand Service life and transition can impact the whole family, so we also offer mentoring and career guidance to military children and young people aged 16-24. Link to Young People Programme
"Our dedicated Families Employment Advisors are military spouses or partners themselves. They understand the challenges and barriers you may be facing. Including frequent moves, living in relative isolation, childcare, employer reluctance to hire military spouses, getting back onto the employment ladder, having a lack of confidence, and returning suddenly to civilian life. We understand the support you require and are here to help you succeed. Here is the link to register: Register for this free service!
