The Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme

Serving personnel (regular and reserve), cadets, veterans and military families contribute incredible value to our organisation and our country. The Colleges’ Partnership is proud of our military heritage, and we actively support the Armed Forces community. Through the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme we want to encourage others to do the same.
