PM Rishi Sunak Pledges £2.1 Million for Veterans' Employment
Veterans are set to secure high-flying positions in the City and beyond, thanks to a new government initiative aimed at helping them transition from military to civilian careers. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has committed £2.1 million to provide support for ex-servicemen and women to excel in top roles.
Operation Prosper Launched to Boost Veteran Employment
Under the newly launched Operation Prosper, veterans will receive comprehensive employment assistance to access lucrative job opportunities. Sunak emphasized the resilience and resourcefulness of veterans, labeling them as one of the nation's greatest assets.
Connecting Veterans with High-Paid Roles
With a high employment rate of 89%, veterans will be guided towards well-suited positions in cyber, digital, and financial sectors where their skills are highly valued. Operation Prosper aims to link veterans with employers and provide guidance from career experts to ensure a smooth transition.
Industry Leaders Engage in Veterans Connect Event
Kicking off with a "Veterans Connect" event, Operation Prosper has already garnered support from top executives at companies like Amazon and Centrica. Firms like Deloitte, which has hired 7,000 veterans in the past 12 years, praise veterans' positive attitude and resilience in the workplace.
Supporting Veterans' Transition to Civilian Life
Prime Minister Sunak reiterated the government's commitment to helping veterans thrive and succeed in civilian roles, acknowledging their invaluable contribution to the country. This initiative follows previous measures such as National Insurance relief for firms hiring veterans and the issuance of Veteran Cards for specialized job opportunities.
