The OA opened its new office in York on Tuesday 15th August.
This will be the OA’s base for organising events and liaising with stakeholders in the North of England. The previous office was in Leeds, but has relocated because of the improved travel links and the fact that many formers officers live in and around York. The office will be based in the Innovation Centre next to the University of York, which reflects the OA’s commitment to develop new and cutting-edge ways of supporting officers.
The OA organises a range of events in the region, including a recent OA Employment Symposium held in York. The event brought together employers, industry experts and the OA network to provide relevant plenary sessions, career advice and industry focused insights for those in transition or considering a second career change.
In addition to the new office, Esme Dickson has recently joined the OA as an Employment Services and Events Coordinator. She is based in the York office, helping to deliver more events and support to former officers.
