Our partners play a vital role in Serco Pathways by helping us secure talent, providing specialist support, and lived-experience insights, to provide meaningful and direct employment opportunities for individuals facing barriers to work.
Each organisation in our network contributes to creating fair, sustainable pathways into employment for people with criminal records, military veterans and families, and those with experience of homelessness.
Unlocking veteran talent through partnership
Thousands leave the Armed Forces each year with proven leadership and resilience, yet many enter roles below their capability due to barriers in translating their skills.
Through Serco Pathways and our partnership with Walking With The Wounded, we are changing this.
We combine inclusive recruitment, guaranteed interviews and tailored support to help veterans build long-term careers in public services.
The result:
- Skilled people into critical roles
- Stronger workforce resilience
- Meaningful economic and social impact
