Can Military Veterans Transition into Teaching to Help Bridge the Gap of Workforce Sustainability in the UK?
Research in Post-Compulsory Education, v30 n2 p350-369 2025
There are many compelling reasons to consider the potential contribution of military veterans to teaching in UK Further Education. To find out more about the perspectives and texts of veterans moving into teaching, a comprehensive review of the literature was done. The review's objectives were to acquire a thorough grasp of how former military personnel might serve as a valuable source of candidates for the further education industry and to pinpoint tactics that would facilitate this. The Office for Veteran Affairs (OVA) approach and other publication sources are discussed. The results showed how FE teaching and military traits are comparable, as well as the difficulties these veterans have transitioning, and how to successfully apply these understandings across the country. Principals of colleges, administrators, and legislators will find this review helpful in implementing their recruitment goals. The findings can be used as inputs to support the development of a sustainable workforce in the FE sector and at the same time help veterans to find a worthy and worthwhile second career.
