The pilot demonstrated that the initiative was successful in providing greater opportunities to veterans to pursue a career in the Civil Service and will now be rolled out across all Departments. This is one of a number of schemes to support veterans into public sector employment, including specific plans to get more veterans into teaching, the prison service and uniformed services.
