Army veteran Matt Evans has first-hand experience trying to find an employer that’s a good fit. With the launch of the renewed Veteran Employment Commitment (VEC), Matt is optimistic about the positive impact this initiative will have on veterans seeking meaningful employment.
‘Being able to search for employers who are veteran-friendly is a massive step in the right direction!’ says Matt. ‘The renewed VEC will bring that and I hope many more veterans can use this tool to make their journey more successful. I struggled for a long time to find a job that gave me meaning and recognised my skills and experience, so I am really excited that the Government is leading the way in setting a benchmark.’
