Launched in 2011, Lifeworks was inspired by the experience of a veteran who faced the uncertainty of leaving the Armed Forces and navigating civilian employment after their career was cut short. Now an award-winning initiative from Royal British Veterans Enterprise – backed by over 100 years of supporting veterans and their families – Lifeworks is built by people who understand the transition and are committed to helping others move forward with confidence and purpose.

Our Programme

This employment programme has been designed for veterans and their families and aims to help with all aspects of an individual’s search and move into training and work. It is also a great source for Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) on how to achieve career goals, work on career direction and improve self-efficacy.

The programme, centred around a 4-day course, is extremely flexible and can adapt to the needs of any person on the programme, including existing work or childcare commitments.

Our award-winning employment programme, designed specifically for the armed forces and military families, empowers individuals to confidently move into training and employment. It supports every stage of the journey – from exploring career options and setting clear goals, to building the skills and a 12 month follow up programme. 

At its core is a high-impact 4-day course, expertly structured to deliver real results. The programme is tailored to fit around your life, adapting to existing work, family, or childcare commitments so you can get the most from every session.
 
You’ll receive personalised, one-to-one support from a team of highly experienced tutors, employment advisors, and occupational psychologists. Whether you need help refining your career direction, strengthening your CV, or preparing for interviews, you’ll have expert guidance every step of the way – a proven pathway to confidence, clarity,  employment and opportunity.
