Why does Troopr exist? Good. Question. Take this quote from The Office for Veteran’s Affairs: An Employer’s Guide to Hiring Veterans. “Veteran employment in the UK is strong, but there is still more that can be done to improve access to career opportunities and better match veterans with positions that make use of their skills. By making these opportunities available and putting the best practices in place, we have the potential to make sure that veterans and the wider community across the UK can benefit from what they have to offer.” And that’s it right there. At its core, Troopr is simply a tool. A brand new tool offering a singular channel that brings together ALL opportunities from the military, veteran and spouse communities combined. With an abundance of opportunities already available for veterans and the broader Armed Forces community, the Troopr platform is here to make these opportunities VISIBLE and ACCESSIBLE across all of the UK. The platform encourages its users to engage with other community members and to participate further in the military community as a whole, ensuring that the entire UK community can fully benefit from the remarkable skills and talents our veterans bring to the table. 🤝 ONE place for the Armed Forces community. 👉 Troopr.co.uk - Source: https://bit.ly/3SB912N - #ArmedForces #UKArmedForces #UKMilitary #BritishForces #Opportunity #ONEplace #Community

Are you a service member or military spouse struggling to navigate LinkedIn? Look no further than the USO Transition Program!

As someone currently transitioning out of the military, I highly recommend checking out this program for invaluable resources. Thank you, USO for supporting our military community! #USO #TransitionProgram #MilitaryTransition #LinkedInSuccess

#ArmedForcesDay 🇬🇧 Today we want to share our support and thanks to our serving personnel, veterans, and service families. Let's talk all things Armed Forces, starting with your favourite military slang that your civilian colleagues don't understand... one Andrew Vaughan  likes to say is "threaders"... he must be saying how awesome his colleagues are right? 🤩 Leave yours in the comments below 👇 With Jolly Good Web being a veteran-owned agency, we have made it part of our mission to support service leavers and veterans to esta🧑💻blish themselves commercially. To do this, we run a Veteran Bootstrap Offer, developing effective and conversion-driven websites that drive service leavers' success. We are proud to say we now support a variety of military associated and Veteran-Owned businesses, including Royal Corps of Signals, Redeployable, and UK Veterans Gaming C.I.C.. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for these fantastic organisations, and the continued development of their websites 🧑💻 #veteranssupportingveterans #webdevelopment #serviceleavers

Some great advice for our transitioning service members. I think negotiating salaries is one of the most difficult things for service members. They are used to a very rigid pay structure and don’t have the ability to negotiate. Negotiating can be very uncomfortable, but is necessary. Give me a shout if you’re transitioning from the military and want to work on some of these skills! #transitioningservicemembers #navymedicine #navyveteran #healthcare

 🌿 Do you know many veterans face challenges transitioning from military to civilian life?  🌿 Despite efforts to support them, military life's unique culture and experiences can be complex for civilians to understand and relate to. 🌿 This lack of understanding can make it hard for veterans to reintegrate into civilian society.  Let's all work together to create a more supportive and inclusive community for our veterans. ❤️ 🌿 To explore tips and strategies for helping veterans navigate the transition to civilian life, you may visit: https://lnkd.in/gZeBVkT3 #VeteranSupport #VeteranCommunity #VeteranMentalHealth #MilitaryCulture #MilitaryLifestyle #MilitaryTransition #CanadianVeterans #CanadianArmedForces #canadianforces #canadiansoldier #MedicalRelease #MilitaryDiscussion #CanadianArmy #CanadianNavy #CanadianAirForce #Veteran #Military #MilitaryCulture #Soldiers #3B #OSI #MilitaryToCivilianLifeTransition #SupportOurVeterans #MilitaryToCivilianTransition #Canada #AdjustmentChallenges #SupportOurTroops #Veterans #MilitaryLife From: Buechner, B.

Did you know that May 10 is Military Spouse Appreciation Day? Not only today but every day the U.S. Department of State is committed to recognizing the dedication, sacrifice, and selflessness that our military spouses demonstrate daily, in both their professional and personal lives. When pursuing a career with the Department, we know that not only does your position impact many around the world but so does your spouse’s career. Because of that, the U.S. Department of State and United States Department of Defense (DoD) are now making it easier for our military spouses to telework overseas. Signed on April 17, the State-DOD Memorandum of Agreement will facilitate Domestic Employee Teleworking Overseas (DETO) arrangements for employees accompanying their DOD Military or Civilian employee spouses abroad. It will also allow the approval process for military and DoD spouses teleworking to be streamlined. Those who are federally employed with the Executive Branch and are military spouses can maintain their careers, keep their families together, and telework with this opportunity.
