The National Transition Event at Silverstone is truly a one-of-a-kind experience for the Armed Forces community.

It aims to leave you feeling empowered and confident as you seek your next career. You’ll have ample opportunities to:
•Network with companies actively recruiting from the Armed Forces community.
•Receive honest advice and guidance from trusted people such as Veterans already in the industry.
•Access support from various agencies and services.
•Enjoy supercar passenger rides around the iconic GP Circuit.
Companies like Jaguar Land Rover, Stellantis, Lotus, and RWE, along with industry bodies such as SMMT and RenewableUK, are not only open to hiring Service Leavers, Veterans, Cadets and their families but also value the distinct advantages that military personnel can contribute to their organisations. These companies understand the translation of military qualifications to civilian roles and are prepared to offer guidance to those embarking on new career paths post-service.
The National Transition Event is a comprehensive resource for individuals undergoing significant life changes by offering support from various organisations. Attendees can expect assistance from Veterans UK & Defence Transition Services and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
