Education & Training: SMARTT Veterans CIC is a veteran-led organisation based in the North East of England. Our mission is to support UK veterans of all ages—and their families—as they transition from military to civilian life. Our leadership includes lived experience of military service, transition, and the challenges that can arise post-discharge.
Leaving the Armed Forces can be the beginning of an exciting new chapter, but finding your way into civilian employment is not always straightforward.
At SMARTT Veterans CIC, we understand that veterans already possess valuable skills, experience and knowledge. Leadership, teamwork, discipline, communication, organisation, problem-solving and working under pressure are just some of the qualities developed during military service.
Our Education & Training programme is designed to help you build on those skills, gain recognised qualifications and take the next step towards your future.
Whether you are preparing to leave the Armed Forces, looking for a new career, returning to employment or simply wanting to develop new skills, SMARTT Veterans can help you explore your options.
