NAAFI Break with JobOppo is a collaboration in the true sense of the word. After having Garrath Williams guest on the NAAFI Break podcast, it became clear there was a shared passion and purpose between us, to support Veterans and Service leavers into successful second careers. The definition of Veterans helping Veterans!

Over the next 6 months we will be providing 12 exclusive episodes for the JobOppo Community, with specific sector focus, from Industry specialists, JobOppo members and the wider employment community.

 The goal of the series, is to help change the narrative around Veteran employment and ensure Service Leavers and Veterans can identify the value and experience they have to offer, as well as help Employers understand the benefits that they bring to the business.

NAAFI break with JobOppo promises to be honest, insightful, informative (and a little tongue in cheek at times), bottling that ‘mateship’ that we all recognise from our time in (any)uniform.
