Armed Forces: Employment Schemes

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many service leavers have accessed the Career Transition Partnership in the North East in the past year.

Answered by Al Carns

Registration with Career Transition Partnership (CTP) is mandatory for all Service Leavers and provides employment advice and support for those leaving military service, during the ‘transition’ phase of approximately two years before and after leaving Service. The most recent official statistics provided in Defence Statistics (published February 2025), states 15,665 Armed Forces service leavers were eligible for CTP for the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.

Unfortunately, it has not been possible to collect data regarding how many Service leavers have accessed the CTP specifically in the North East.
