Testimonials:
“The BuildForce Armed Forces Insight Day was simply excellent. It opened my eyes to the wealth of opportunities available. Now, becoming a veteran is the opposite of daunting; it’s exciting! And having the dedicated support of BuildForce is priceless. 10 out of 10!”
“I thought the event was very well organised, delivered and practically informative. What I found most useful is how engaging and focused the day was, from the insightful panel session setting a positive tone by some very senior/influential people, to the representatives on the stands. It is the most helpful single thing I’ve done so far to link current skills to tangible future opportunities: and I only have 3 weeks to go before I hand in my ID card!”
