ALTEN Partners with Career Transition Partnership (CTP)
We’re proud to share that ALTEN has established a partnership with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), the Ministry of Defence’s official resettlement service supporting Armed Forces personnel as they transition to civilian careers.
Supporting Those Who Served
This partnership represents a natural evolution of our commitment to the Armed Forces community. Having signed the Armed Forces Covenant, we’re now taking further steps to ensure that ex-military personnel have direct pathways into meaningful engineering and technology careers at ALTEN.
The timing couldn’t be more important. Over 14,000 individuals leave the Armed Forces each year, bringing with them exceptional skills that are directly transferable to the work we do: systems thinking, project management under pressure, technical expertise, leadership in complex environments, and an unwavering commitment to mission success.
Why This Matters
Those who have served in the Armed Forces possess many of the capabilities that drive success in engineering consultancy. Their experience managing high-stakes projects, working with advanced technology systems, and delivering under demanding conditions makes them outstanding candidates for roles across our aerospace, defence, automotive, and energy sectors.
Through our partnership with CTP, we’re creating dedicated career pathways that recognise military experience for what it truly is: world-class training in the skills that matter most in our industry.
What This Partnership Delivers
Working alongside CTP, we’re providing:
- Career opportunities specifically aligned with military skill sets
- Direct access to ALTEN’s network across aerospace, defence, automotive, energy, and rail sectors
- Support in translating military experience into civilian career success
- A clear pathway from service to technical engineering roles that leverage practical and leadership abilities
For prospective clients, particularly those working on defence related contracts, this partnership reinforces our position as a ‘forces friendly’ employer with direct access to exceptional talent. Our commitment extends beyond policy statements to the creation of sustainable recruitment pathways that deliver tangible results.
Building Tomorrow’s World with Those Who Defended It
Our tagline, “Building Tomorrow’s World Today”, takes on deeper meaning when we consider who’s building it. The discipline, technical acumen, and leadership that characterise Armed Forces personnel are precisely what’s needed to tackle the complex engineering challenges facing our clients.
This isn’t about corporate responsibility initiatives – though we’re proud to contribute to the broader mission of supporting veterans. This is about recognising talent where it exists and creating the bridges needed to bring that talent into our industry.
Through CTP, we’re connecting with service leavers at every stage of their transition journey, offering not just jobs, but careers that honour their capabilities and provide genuine opportunities for growth.
Looking Forward
As we expand this partnership, we’re committed to helping those who’ve served their country to have the opportunity to build successful civilian career. For clients seeking engineering talent with proven leadership, technical expertise, and the ability to deliver under pressure, our forces-friendly approach provides access to an exceptional talent pool.
If you’re leaving the Armed Forces and considering your next move, or if you’ve already transitioned and are exploring opportunities in engineering consultancy, we encourage you to explore what ALTEN can offer.
