Ex-Forces and Veterans

Carbon60: Committed to Supporting Ex-Forces and Veterans

For many years, Carbon60 have been committed supporters and partners of the military and their personnel, including those who are currently serving in one of our Armed Forces - who we support and celebrate through sponsorship of various events - and particularly ex-forces and veterans who have retired from the forces and navigating life after service.

Understanding that making the transition back into civilian life can be a significant challenge and concern for many ex-forces personnel, we utilise the experience, expertise and connections of our people - including some who are veterans themselves - to not only help create new career opportunities for them, but offer the advice, support and guidance needed to help kick-start a post-service career too.

The Support Carbon60 Provides

The insights and support that our experienced people provide can be invaluable to any ex-forces personnel or veteran who may be unsure if and how they can find and start a new career that’s suited to them, their skills and experience and their journey back into civilian life.

Carbon60’s own ex-forces and veterans, many of whom served in the military for several years but are now thriving in their new careers, strive to help people take the next steps, at the right time – not just in their career, but in every day civilian life – by sharing experience and knowledge; helping them tailor CV’s and better identify and showcase their skills; and point them in the right direction, connecting them with employers across a variety of sectors.

Such advice and guidance are also available on our website, through a variety of insightful blogs and guides; whilst we also feature employers and companies offering roles and opportunities available that would be ideally suited to ex-forces and veterans, their skillsets and their experience.

Career Opportunities for Ex-Forces and Veterans

It isn’t only us who strive to support ex-forces and veterans, recognising their skills, discipline and commitment and the potential to apply it to a career outside of service – many companies Carbon60 are in partnership with do too.

That’s why you’ll find that many of our clients, including globally-recognised organisations such as STS Aviation, provide career opportunities that have been created specifically with ex-forces and veterans in mind – ranging from apprenticeships offering chances to build-on and develop existing skills and qualifications to full-time roles in which people can take on and thrive within.

Why Connect with Carbon60?

Carbon60’s long-term support for our brave military service men and women, and passion for championing their skills, dedication and finding them a secure, rewarding and enjoyable route back into civilian life isn’t only proven through our experience and expertise.

As Forces Covenant civilian employment support providers and one of the UK’s Top 25 Veteran Employers, and advocates of STEM learning through hands-on experiences and practical education, Carbon60 are recognised as a company that ex-forces and veterans can trust and depend on as they look to take a vital next step in post-service life.

Help for you, and your family too

As part of our ongoing commitment to veterans and ex-forces personnel, we are also dedicated to supporting military families as they also experience the journey from service life to civilian life, which for many can be difficult to navigate and understand. We provide guidance on what support is available for those struggling with their physical or mental health or finding it hard settling back into a civilian way of life and struggling to find work or somewhere to live; can direct people towards specialist care they may need; and even help them to get financial support. Help for you, and your family too.

We’re guided by Military to Civilian Transition Experience & Expertise
