A new online magazine has been launched to provide support and resources for young people in military families when they set out in their first job or business venture.
Career Pursuit CIC and the Forces Employment Charity collaborated to produce Your Future with the aim of giving 16 to 24-year-olds the most relevant and up-to-date information as they navigate their career options against a background of relocations and deployments.
Helen Massy, the founder, chief executive and editor-in-chief of Career Pursuit and Your Future, said the organisation understood the immense challenges young people in service families faced as they began their working life and the magazine was dedicated to empowering them.
“By highlighting free resources and showcasing inspiring stories, we aim to equip them with the tools and confidence to chart a bright future,” she said.
Kelly Wales, Families Education and Skills Liaison at the Forces Employment Charity, said: “We understand first-hand the unique challenges of living in a forces family and, crucially, the life-changing impact that can be made when people are given the right career support.”
The magazine features information on free resources, the chance to look at career paths you might not have considered before and tips on turning your military life experience into new career opportunities.
