If you're looking for help with further education or employment, there are various ways we can assist you. We also have valuable information about organisations that offer employment support.

1. Discharge/Transition:

   • Even if the discharge isn't for medical reasons, we can consider helping with vocational skills training if there are job opportunities.

2. Unemployment and Retraining:

   • In some cases, we can support individuals facing unemployment by covering the cost of training courses.

3. Useful organisations:

   • Career Transition Partnership (CTP) offers training and skill development for those leaving the RAF.
   • Future Horizons Programme helps early Service leavers find and sustain employment.
   • Regular Forces Employment Association (RFEA) assists Armed Forces personnel in finding employment.
   • Civvy Street provides free advice on employment, skills, and training.
   • Jobcentre Plus offers access to job vacancies and training programs.

4. Specialist Help for Veterans with Disabilities:

   • LifeWorks offers a course to help ex-Armed Forces personnel enter and maintain civilian jobs.
   • The Poppy Factory in Richmond helps wounded, injured, and sick ex-Service personnel find work.

5. Support for Children's Educational Costs:

   • If a RAF member dies or has a severe disability preventing them from working, their children may receive support for university or vocational college costs.
