Transferable skills from the military to civilian life
Raymond Whelan
Información del libro
The Irish Defence Forces employs 9, 500 personnel. Approximately 3, 139 of that number are Non- Commissioned Officers (NCOs) who have changed career paths into civilian roles since 2000. Many of these individuals have found the transition from a military career to a civilian career challenging. One of the most pertinent challenges has been the lack of any appreciation for the range of transferrable skills that are gained by NCOs in their military careers. This book aims to identify what transferrable skills contribute to the transition from a military career to a civilian career. In so doing, it will also consider some broader research objectives, including the identification of the obvious soft skills, that are readily transferable from a military context to a professional civilian career; the evaluation of the military skills that are readily transferrable from a military career to civilian context that are less obvious; an examination of some skills that employers might find useful from former military personnel.
