BUSINESS NEWS
from the business community who have pledged to offer personalised support –whether its pre-settlement, supporting transition to civilian life, or for veterans seeking amore fulfilling job role, having left the military.
How does it work? Tyrie explains that “Toaccess career advice and 1:1 support you just need to visit the Project Fortis website, create asimple profile, telling us about your forces background, location, and the industries you’re interested in. Then we can start to recommend contacts for you. Our focus is to connect you with people who will understand your situation, and may well have already done some of the ‘heavy lifting’ on working out how they can successfully transition.
“There is agrowing number of people out there from various industries
that are willing to give you the advice you need. We already have several hundred buddies and the community is growing every day.”
“It’s quite anew concept and people are using Project Fortis in different ways; some have aspecific organisation or job role in mind, and just want to connect with, say, telecoms experts -they know that’s where they want to end up. Most of the time, people are just trying to work out which sectors and roles they’re interested in, so connect with several different people at atime.”
“Sometimes people need some very practical assistance with CV writing and preparation for interviews. Increasingly though, moral support is something that people tell us they need. Going through the recruitment process is achallenge for anyone;
someone that can open up doors, and give the right amount of support, can prove invaluable in securing the job you want.”
“84% of people we’ve worked with tell us the relationships they’ve formed through Project Fortis have had asignificant impact on their job prospects. This is hugely satisfying for us and we’re working hard to get more and more ambassadors on board to broaden the range of employment opportunities. We’d love to hear from any organisations that want to support the Armed Forces Family and benefit from the extraordinary talents of their personnel.”
