Our Commitment to The Armed Forces
The Colleges’ Partnership is proud of our military heritage, and we actively support the Armed Forces community.
The Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme
At The Colleges' Partnership, we are proud to support the Armed Forces community and recognise the exceptional skills, experience and dedication that serving personnel (Regular and Reserve), veterans, cadets and military families bring to our organisation and the wider UK workforce.
As a proud holder of the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award, we are committed to creating meaningful employment opportunities, championing reservists, and ensuring that those who serve receive the flexibility and support they need to balance military and civilian careers. Our long-standing relationship with the Ministry of Defence reflects our belief that investing in the Armed Forces community strengthens our organisation, enriches our culture and contributes to a more resilient and skilled workforce.
Through our commitment to the Employer Recognition Scheme, we also encourage other employers to recognise the immense value that the Armed Forces community brings and to join us in supporting those who serve.
