SKILLS GAP MILITARY PERSONNEL
CHECK OUT CAREER IN ENERGY Eighty serving and ex-military gathered at Colchester Football Club recently to explore whether the energy industry would be suitable for a second career.
Ex-military speakers, currently working in the energy industry, recounted their experiences leaving the services and provided advice on how to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Attention! Military and ex-service personnel focus on a possible future career in the energy industry.
SKILLS FOR ENERGY PROGRAMME The Military Energy Industry Awareness event was organised as part of the Skills for Energy programme, hosted by EEEGR (the East of England Energy Group), and sponsored by Essex Armed Forces Community Covenant.
AIMS One of the main aims of Skills for Energy partnership is facilitate the access into the energy industry by the service leavers. Executive Director for EEEGR, Celia Anderson, who leads the Skills for Energy programme, said: “The number of service leavers approaching us is steadily increasing. They need advice on how they might fit into the industry and how best to sell themselves.
“Many jobs are secured through people you know and so we help them to build their networks with contacts that can help.”
TRANSFERABLE SKILLS Among the speakers was Ian Moulton, Operations Improvement Manager from Perenco, who spoke about how the equipment used in the energy industry is not too dissimilar to that used in the armed forces. Mr Moulton also highlighted the importance of using their transferable skills, but also demonstrating the ability to learn.
CV WORKSHOP Also speaking was Kip Morton, Director for Forces4Energy who facilitated the CV workshop that took place in the afternoon.
“This was an excellent opportunity for experienced and motivated ex and serving military to gain valuable insight into the energy industry directly from those who work within the sector,” he said. “It is rare to get an opportunity to discuss your own CV, skills and capabilities in an open forum such as this and it has proved invaluable to the service leavers.”
