The GE Aerospace Veterans Network has global reach, promoting camaraderie and supporting transition from military life. In the UK, it is expanding to aid recruitment and provide lived experiences of working at GE Aerospace. Veterans assist at careers events and offer transition advice.

GE Aerospace recognises the transferable strengths that military service instils and is committed to supporting veterans, spouses and families. Whether transitioning into a civilian career or an experienced candidate, it offers tailored programmes, strong company culture and exciting global opportunities to progress.
