Fujitsu

As a global technology company, Fujitsu actively seeks to recruit military veterans, recognising their wealth of transferable skills and value from its long history of working alongside the MOD. With 270+ UK veteran staff, it achieved the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award.

Leveraging decades of experience delivering defence and national security solutions, Fujitsu helps service leavers transition into civilian careers. It was one of the first 20 Armed Forces Covenant signatories. Now 15% of its national security division are veterans, with a goal of one third of new hires having Armed Forces backgrounds.

The recognised qualifications and transferable skills, like initiative and teamwork, make veterans a strong fit for Fujitsu’s technical and project management openings. The company’s Military Transition and Talent Programme offers fixed-term PM roles with extra support to bridge any skills gaps identified.

Working in Fujitsu’s Defence team enables a gradual transition from the military into an IT career. With required security clearances, veterans bring invaluable understanding of Fujitsu’s core MOD customer as well as shared values.

Fujitsu’s Reservists, Veterans and Families portal offers tailored support. ‘Connect conversations’ enable clarity on performance and future opportunities through regular check-ins. The Defence Learning Hub provides free training to build desired skills like leadership, finance and risk management.

Many veterans view Fujitsu as a long-term career destination rather than just a job. Its extensive outreach, skills translation programmes and ongoing development demonstrate the value Fujitsu places on military talent. With a shared customer focus and supportive company culture, Fujitsu enables veterans to successfully transition military experience into thriving technology consulting careers.
