Question to the Ministry of Defence:
What progress his Department has made on supporting education and reskilling opportunities for former service personnel.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) promotes lifelong learning.
Eligible Service personnel and veterans can access three schemes which can help individuals pursue their personal and professional development through education, both during their Service and, for two of the schemes, up to ten years after discharge.
In 2019, the MOD introduced Holistic Transition support, building on the highly successful Career Transition Partnership, which has provided employment support and job finding services for the last 20 years.
