Growing Fresh Careers
Ruralink Vetworks with the land-based sector to develop accessible pathways into employment for service-leavers and veterans.
We are very proud to have been awarded the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award, which particularly recognises our work to advocate with rural businesses on behalf of the military community. We encourage our partners to sign the Armed Forces Covenant themselves.

Inspiring Veterans and Creating Career-paths
FOR THE VETERAN OR SERVICE-LEAVER
You are interested in working outdoors. You probably hate the idea of sitting in an office all day. But you want a new career with prospects and a decent income. You might think you don't have any relevant experience but you'll be surprised at just how broad this sector is and what a range of opportunities exist.
One way of finding out more is to book a free initial 30 minute career coaching call with Fiona.
WE DO NOT CHARGE RESETTLING PERSONNEL FOR OUR SERVICES.
FOR THE EMPLOYER
You know that veterans generally are great team-players, hard workers, reliable, loyal, quick learners and physically robust. But you are not sure how their experience is relevant to your business.
We can advise you on targeted recruitment, skills mapping, interpreting CVs and even support you and your new veteran employee through the early stages of their employment. Our support will be a great investment as, once appointed to the right position, your veteran employee is likely to have a significant positive impact on productivity.
FOR OUR COMMERCIAL CLIENTS
We also take on commercial contracts through which we offer employment and experience to service-leavers in transition and demonstrate first-hand the capabilities of ex-forces people to our customers. United by our own military experience and can-do attitude, we work in focus teams to bring the right blend of military and land-based experience to each project. And if we know some-one else who can help, we'll gladly introduce you.
FOR THE EDUCATION OR TRAINING PROVIDER
Recent research has confirmed that veterans find it very difficult to access information about agriculture and land-based jobs, careers and education/training. It's simply a blind spot in the transition system. So, it's not surprising that take up of your courses by ex-service personnel is low.
We will support you in accessing the thousands of veterans who flow out of the forces every year and help you make your offerings accessible and attractive to them. We are particularly keen to work with training providers who wish to partner with employers to provide Gateway jobs for veterans and develop pathways into long-term careers.
We can also help you sign up to the Armed Forces Covenant.
