Notes

1. Ex-Service personnel are classified as employed if they are in paid employment within six months of leaving the Armed Forces (full-time permanent role; part-time out of choice; contract job for at least six months).

2. Information on employment outcome is based on a 20% sample of ex-Service personnel who have used the Career Transition Partnership service.

The information on the number of Service personnel who have used the Career Transition Partnership service is not held by each region and constituent part of the UK. However, the attached tables provide the number of Service personnel who have received the Employment Support Programme and the Full Support Programme by resettlement centre from calendar year 2005 to 2014.
