Redeployable: Transitioning Veterans from the forces to fulfilling new roles in business

Richard Alvin sits down with Ben Read, founder of Redeployable and we thank episode sponsor M&S Corporate Gifts, for more information Visit marksandspencerforbusiness.com Redeployable is a platform aimed at simplifying the challenging journey out of the military and into new, fulfilling careers.  As a former British Army Sergeant himself, Read could see that there was a problem; leaving the military can be confusing and unclear.  So after serving in the army for 12 years, Read embarked on a mission to improve the transition process for military personnel. He recognised that there was a real lack of support or clear guidance about where to go next; leading to widespread veteran underemployment. Veterans have the potential to be excellent employees; they’re highly skilled and driven. Combine this with the skills gap that lots of tech-based companies are facing, and there’s a clear soltuion. To get more vets and service leavers into these great careers.    Redeployable was born out of Read's desire to provide a comprehensive support network for veterans, connecting them with the resources, opportunities, and guidance they need to successfully transition into civilian life. The platform offers a range of services including job placements, training programs and mentorship.
