Rishi Sunak is launching a £2.1m scheme to help veterans into high-paid jobs after they leave the armed forces amid an ongoing debate about their welfare. 'Operation Prosper' aims to support veterans into workplaces where they can use skills they have acquired in the military and to make the UK 'the best place in the world to be a veteran'.
'By connecting veterans with employers, engaging industry bodies on the importance of hiring veterans, and strengthening their qualifications and skills, this government will ensure more ex-servicemen and women are securing high-quality and fulfilling employment.
