One of Glasgow's most recent inward investors recently hosted a
visit by Scottish Veterans Secretary Keith Brown to see their
ex-forces training programme which offers Service leavers training
to become IT and business consultants.
Mr Brown met with Norman Yarwood from FDM, veterans in training with
FDM, those who will shortly join and those who have completed the
training, now on placement with Barclays.
Keith Brown said: "When veterans move from the armed forces into
civilian life, their unique experience and training is a huge
advantage to employers. Bespoke training programmes, like those
offered by FDM Group, ensure that veterans can make the most of
their skills and are not disadvantaged when they join the
professional civilian workforce."
Rhys Fraser, a former Private (Highland 4th) and now
in training with Barclays Glasgow said:
"FDM have done a lot for me, not just helping me through the
transition to employment in civilian life but with personal matters
too.
"As intense as the course was, making the transition to the IT
industry has made me think I should have done this years ago."
As a professional services provider with a focus on IT, FDM
Group is the UK's leading IT graduate employer.
