In terms of recruitment, strong partnerships with BuildForce UK, Forces Employment Charity or the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) help create a consistent pipeline of military talent into construction careers. This type of interaction is key in enabling veterans to prosper in the course of their transition to construction. The nature of a military career means that most veterans will have changed roles every few years during their military career, which allows them to learn ‘on the job’ much more quickly. Mentorship and trainingAs with any new hire, construction training for veterans should be tailored to their individual development needs. The construction and engineering industry can benefit enormously from the skills, commitment and leadership veterans bring.
