Veterans: Greater Manchester
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to support veterans into suitable employment in Greater Manchester.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
Employment support from the Ministry of Defence is available to veterans in Greater Manchester, including the Career Transition Partnership, which can be accessed two years before and two years after leaving Service. In the last year, 88% using this service secured employment within six months. Op ASCEND, available two years after leaving, has helped support over 5,000 veterans and family members into sustainable careers.
