Navigating the transition from our Forces to industry: Insight from John Stephenson

In this episode, host David Savage sits down with John Stephenson, the Managing Director of the Forces Transition Group, to discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by ex-military personnel transitioning to civilian careers. John shares his personal experiences from his 24 years in the armed forces and explains how the Forces Transition Group helps veterans, blue light services, and their families navigate this significant life change. The conversation delves into the barriers that exist between the military and civilian worlds, the misconceptions businesses have about hiring veterans, and the importance of self-belief and ownership in making a successful transition.
