LIFEWORKS.Ex-Military Foundation partners with the RBli’s LifeWorks Programme. This is a FULLY FUNDED 5 day course which equips ex-Armed Forces personnel with the tools to get into and maintain a civilian job that is appropriate for them. The course is available to anyone who has been in the Armed Forces, regardless of when and how long they served for and runs at various locations across the UK and at RBLI’s Training Centre in Aylesford, Kent
The transition to civilian life can be a challenging process for all Armed Forces leavers, and even more so for those medically retired due to injury, health condition or disability. With this in mind the Lifeworks programme was created as an innovative series of courses designed to build on existing skills for employment beyond the Armed Forces.
The core of LifeWorks is a comprehensive assessment of your background, skills and ambitions. By identifying and developing your transferable abilities, LifeWorks builds you an individual action plan and provides ongoing guidance to progress towards your goals.
Understanding the commitments that we all experience during times of change, RBLI have structured the courses to give the maximum level of flexibility. LifeWorks can be provided over the phone, face to face on an individual basis or as part of a LifeWorks course.
