To celebrate the work already done by Yodel after signing up to the Ministry of Defence’s Armed Forces Covenant in November, the MOD recently awarded Yodel a Bronze Award in their Employer Recognition Scheme. This scheme aims to recognise employers who actively demonstrate support to the Armed Forces Community.
Naomi Hall is one of Yodel’s first ex-military recruits through CTP. After spending 16 years in the RAF, serving in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Falkland Islands, Naomi undertook work experience at Yodel and was subsequently offered, and accepted, a full time position in the Business Change team at their Liverpool office.
Naomi, who completed various project management qualifications through CTP to prepare her for work outside the military, said: “I’m really enjoying the change and the challenge. In the military I was very used to knowing my job, and what I was doing each week. The work placement and successful completion of my courses have built my confidence and ensured the move to Yodel was the right move for me.”
Lynne Graham, People Director at Yodel added; “We are very proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant and to have achieved a Bronze award in such a short space of time. Our valued military personnel have given so much for our country and still have so much to offer, including many transferable skills.
“It’s clear from Naomi’s progress that the programme we have in place with CTP is having a really positive impact. Through the CTP we are able to match people’s skills to the posts available and offer a range of fulfilling career opportunities when their days in service come to an end. For us it’s a win-win situation.”Please come and say hello to Yodel at the upcoming
CTP Southampton Employment Fair on Thursday 20th October and the
CTP Telford Employment Fair on Thursday 17th November, where we will be talking about all our current vacancies and why we think Yodel should be the next step in your career!
