Transitioning Military Skills into Civilian Careers
Military service instils a range of transferable skills, including leadership, discipline, problem-solving, and technical proficiency. At ATA Recruitment, we recognise the immense value that forces leavers bring to the engineering and manufacturing industries. Our mission is to facilitate their seamless transition into civilian roles where they can continue to excel.
For forces leavers, we offer personalised support, helping them identify opportunities that match their experience and career goals. Our consultants understand the nuances of military experience and work closely with candidates to translate their skills into roles within sectors such as General Engineering, Automotive, Aerospace, Food & FMCG, Warehouse Automation and Special Purpose Machinery.
At the same time, we support our clients in tapping into this highly skilled and dependable talent pool, helping them strengthen their teams with individuals who thrive under pressure, adapt quickly, and bring a unique level of commitment and capability to technical environments.
"ATA Recruitment helped me throughout my process of leaving the armed forces (RN) in the most professional way. Carefully choosing opportunities that are suited to my personal preferences, knowledge and experience providing me with the right options for me. Their personal approach and efforts to create a good quality relationship throughout my process is something that I really want to highlight, contacting me every month to check in and contacting me every 1-2 weeks when it came closer to me leaving the military. ATA provided me with the best professional and personal advice during what is a stressful time for any service leaver. This included what to expect in civvy street, how to approach interviews and most importantly helped me with my confidence in conversing my skills and best qualities. I cannot thank ATA enough for their help and I would recommend them 100%."
