Business In The Community

Business In The Community (BITC) strength is in the network it convenes and in the pioneering and passionate individuals in business, who help to drive, inspire and engage others to do more.

Through this they have set up two areas of support to the Armed Forces Community.

Capitalising On Military Talent: Everything You Need To Know About Employing Armed Forces Veterans guides employers through the practical steps of setting up an accessible, Armed Forces friendly recruitment practice in England and Scotland. Veterans represent a unique, diverse and high-performing source of talent. Yet many employers are missing out on this great talent due to a lack of knowledge about the military or misconceptions based on negative stereotypes.

Capitalising on Military Family Talent explains how family members of those serving in the military can be affected and what steps employers can take. It discusses the barriers they can experience when applying for work but also the barriers that prevent them from being able to work. The toolkit covers how military family members can be inspired and prepared for work as well as how employers can support them once they have joined an organisation.
