West Midlands-based employment support specialists Steps To Work has launched a new programme, to help those who have served in the Armed Forces as they embark on a new career path.

Steps To Work is using its specialist employment knowledge to provide a scheme 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 being funded by Steps To Work via SPR’s charitable giving. Focus areas include – but not limited to – roles that naturally lend themselves well to ex-forces personnel: transport and logistics, security, IT, project management, construction, engineering and more.
