Painting the Grass Green: Supporting the Armed Forces Community
At SDM Training Services, we take pride in our commitment to supporting armed forces veterans. Painting the Grass Green enhances the efforts of independent practitioners, rehabilitation teams, and support services by offering valuable expertise and knowledge tailored to the unique needs of veterans.
We strive to create pathways for successful reintegration into civilian life, ensuring that veterans receive the guidance and resources necessary to thrive. Our collaborative approach fosters a supportive environment that empowers individuals to harness their skills and experiences.
If you are part of the armed forces community or work with veterans, we invite you to explore how our services can enhance your support efforts.
Veteran Support Services: Workshops, Coaching, and Employability Courses
Are you a veteran? Why Ask? We provide informative presentations and workshops tailored for a variety of organisations and groups. These sessions delve into the reasons for leaving the forces, the challenges faced by veterans, and practical strategies practitioners can implement to offer meaningful support to those who have served.
One-on-One Coaching Our personalised coaching sessions focus on helping individual service users identify their transferable skills, navigate their transition, and recognise civilian equivalents for job roles, qualifications, and experiences. We also address common unhelpful thinking patterns and limiting beliefs that can hinder progress, empowering veterans to overcome barriers to success.
Specialised Employability Courses We offer flexible employability courses designed to meet the unique needs of your organisation. Our programs have been particularly impactful, including our AfganOppO workshops, which are specifically tailored for Afghan nationals who have previously worked with British forces. These courses aim to equip participants with the skills and confidence needed for successful reintegration into the workforce.
Regular Employability Support for the JobOppO House Community App
We offer ongoing employability skills content and expert advice through the JobOppO House Community app.
