Called “Online group career coaching”, the 4.5-month development programme is being run in partnership with Vets: Stay, Go, Diversify (VSGD) and aims to offer support and advice for vets at all stages of their careers.
Survey

A survey has been created to help anyone who might be interested in the programme decide if the content is suitable for them.
