ARMED FORCES COVENANT FUND TRUSTEE LIMITED

The Trust is leading on this research procurement on behalf of the Office for Veterans' Affairs (OVA), which is keen to fully understand the impact of UK Armed Forces reservists and veterans on the labour market. The project aims to understand the economic value reservists and veterans add to various employment sectors and to the economy. It should identify issues where the skills of reservists and veterans aren't being fully utilised in the economy through poor job matching leading to under employment. This work may also add how reservists and veterans enter civilian employment (at any point post-service) and identify barriers and facilitators to their successful employment.

The aims of this research are to: understand the size and composition of the cohort of current and former Merchant Mariners; to create an evidence base with regards to Merchant Mariner veterans, their role in, and contributions to UK Armed Forces operations and the wider community, and any specific issues they face; and to contribute to a more inclusive understanding of UK veterans, supporting efforts to recognise and honour the service of Merchant Mariners.

The Trust is leading on this research procurement on behalf of the Office for Veterans' Affairs (OVA), which is keen to fully understand the support provided by NATO countries to their Armed Forces veterans.

The project will provide clear, data-driven insights that can inform UK policy and identify potential opportunities for international collaboration.
