Who We Help - Veterans
Veterans
Veterans can face unique employment challenges as they transition from military to civilian life. Adapting to a different working culture, translating military experience into civilian roles, and rebuilding confidence after service can all make it difficult to secure employment.
Through Lifeworks, we support veterans with tailored advice, expert coaching and practical employability support, helping them overcome barriers and move forward into rewarding civilian careers.
Through Lifeworks, we recognise the strengths, resilience and highly transferable skills that veterans bring from their service. Our programme offers personalised guidance, one-to-one coaching and practical support designed to meet individuals where they are.
We take time to understand each veteran’s goals, experience and circumstances, helping them identify realistic career pathways and approach the job market with confidence.
From confidence-building and CV development to interview preparation, training guidance and employer connections, LifeWorks provides the tools, encouragement and opportunities veterans need to secure sustainable employment that reflects their skills, values and long-term ambitions.
Patrick's Story
After losing several close family members in a single year, Patrick left the military feeling lost, unsure of his identity, and uncertain about what came next.
Joining RBVE’s Lifeworks employability course became the turning point. Over four days, he rebuilt his confidence, rediscovered his strengths, and began to see a future he hadn’t thought possible.
Today, Patrick works in cyber security and trade controls within the defence and aerospace sector. His message to anyone unexpectedly transitioning out of the military is simple: it does get better.
Success Story 2
Family members of those currently serving in the Armed Forces are also eligible for help through the Lifeworks programme. Family members of service personnel can face unique challenges when entering employment. This is where Lifeworks can help, with tailored support, advice and courses to help family members achieve their career goals.
We offer specialist courses, held at various locations around the UK including at garrisons, meaning were able to focus our efforts and provide support where it is most needed. We also offer online courses, ensuring families can benefit from Lifeworks wherever they are. Our forward assist element ensures we provide long-term support to help those in need reach their career goals, attain further training or gain work experience.
