Join us to understand why women have a lower employment rate (69%) compared to men (81%) after leaving the Armed Forces.

Hear from business leaders, employment experts and inspirational women who have successfully transitioned from military to civilian employment. Understand what employers like Jacobs, Balfour Beatty, JP Morgan, Braze, MOD Abbey Wood and the London Business School are looking for from future employees and why they’re recruiting from the ex-military and spouse talent pools.

A series of keynote presentations and panel discussions will discuss the key issues facing women as they seek to swap military life for civilian employment tackling:

• The struggle to describe skills and experiences in a way that employers understand
• Holding back from applying for roles if they do not 100% fit the criteria and a lack of confidence
• Family commitments
• Unsure where they best fit in industry

National employers will showcase their current opportunities and provide personal recruitment and job application advice. Employers already confirmed to speak are: KPMG, tRIIo, NHS, PA Consulting, Focus7, Montessori Group, Recruit for Spouses & tech company, Sheperd.
