OMEGA PROJECT NEWSLETTER 22 - AUTUMN 13 - PT1

Please forward to anyone you know who might be interested

It’s been a busy summer for the Omega – Rifles team, who have been busy developing employment opportunities for service personnel. In this newsletter you’ll find details of our Autumn programme of sector/company open days, which provide an insight into a company and the roles available. The Omega project is driven by a desire to give service personnel more choice and a clear path into employment on leaving the Armed Forces.

All jobs are posted on the dedicated jobs board which is updated on a daily basis; save it to your Favourites and visit on a regular basis to keep up to date. The recruitment world moves quickly so don’t miss out. If you want to explore a role give the team member, whose name is at the bottom of the advert, a ring. You can find the job’s board here THE RIFLES.

The project continues to grow; feel free to forward the newsletter to anyone in your network you think would be interested.

THE FUTURE

The Open Days have proved very successful from both the company and service personnel’s perspective and will continue over the autumn. The Omega project works to translate and explain the skills, knowledge and expertise of service personnel so that companies understand and can access the talent leaving the Army. Our Role Ready Initiatives are unique and exclusive. Our challenge now is to get the word out to all Riflemen and service personnel leaving in the next 12 months to exploit these opportunities. Companies want what service personnel have to offer. These initiatives allow Riflemen to make informed decisions as to how they use their resettlement money, confident in the knowledge they are preparing themselves for employment, in a sector which needs the quality manpower ex-Riflemen represent.

The offshore sector development is exciting and has the potential to deliver a large number of well-paid jobs for service personnel. We’re not quite there yet, but we’ll keep you informed.

Please pass this newsletter on to other people in your network and support the project by registering, Liking it on FB, or just by passing this on to friends.

As ever all comments and feedback welcome.
