Veteran Support Partnership virtual event is back and bigger than ever 

21 June 2022 from 10:00am to 1:25pm

The Veteran Support Partnership is a group of organisations joining together to help eliminate barriers to opportunities and enable the Armed Forces Community to reach their full potential. This event is made of four streams, Support, Development, Employability and Employment Opportunities.

During the event, you will be able to move between streams and join different sessions. Each stream will be recorded and circulated following the event, so don't worry if any of the sessions you're interested in are at the same time.

You can register your interest and find more information, including the agendas for all 4 streams in another format, on our Veteran Support Partnership virtual event page on Eventbrite.
