The Career Transition Partnership provides a number of core workshops to start your transition to civilian life, and you can choose whichever best suits your aims. They are all completely free of charge to registered Service leavers.
The Career Transition Workshop (CTW) is usually the first CTP event that Full Service registrants attend. The CTW lasts 3 days and during the workshop, an "employer-friendly" CV is produced, self-marketing skills are considered and interview techniques are practised. Click here for more information
If you are not sure what you want to do, an Options for the Future Workshop (OFW) is designed to stimulate your thinking and generate ideas for a second career. It is an alternative to the CTW and is best suited to people who have served for a long time and want to consider all their options. Click here for more information
If you are thinking of becoming self-employed or starting your own business, the two-day Business Start Up workshop will enable you to look at the pros and cons of being self-employed, and all the issues you will need to consider if you go ahead. Click here for more information
The New Horizons in Retirement workshop lasts one day and views retirement as an active stage in career development. It equips participants to plan retirement and make informed choices. Service Leavers (and partners if wished) of any rank who do not intend to engage in full time employment following discharge, but wish to remain active and take full advantage of the opportunities offered by full or semi-retirement, would benefit from attending.

This one day workshop builds on the interview techniques learned during the CTW. It has a more practical element with role play to increase confidence and hone techniques.
Aimed at anyone considering management or technical consultancy as a career option on leaving, this one-day workshop examines the requirements of successful consultancy, either in an employed or self-employed capacity.
