Description
The Trust is leading on this research procurement on behalf of the Office for Veterans' Affairs (OVA), which is keen to fully understand the impact of UK Armed Forces reservists and veterans on the labour market. The project aims to understand the economic value reservists and veterans add to various employment sectors and to the economy. It should identify issues where the skills of reservists and veterans aren't being fully utilised in the economy through poor job matching leading to under employment. This work may also add how reservists and veterans enter civilian employment (at any point post-service) and identify barriers and facilitators to their successful employment.
