Building on the opportunities offered by the Apprenticeship programme, the Army has also invested in an Army Skills Offer:
Employers recognise the value of military service but the skills, knowledge and experience gained while in service have not been articulated coherently or in terms they readily understand. The Army Skills Offer provides a portfolio of funded qualifications that makes very clear the skills acquired in Regular and Reserve service, whether that is gained through professional trade skills, CLM, Army Trainer Capability or elsewhere. This will help support and frame the offer made to the individual and the employer, will help aid retention and facilitate transition.
