CLA Podcast: supporting veterans in the rural community
Listen to the latest episode of our podcast series - CLA Rural Business Uncovered - where we discuss how the CLA Veteran's Initiative can support others
Join Charles Trotman and Avril Roberts in the podcast below. In the discussion, we explore what a veteran is, why their unique skills sets are vital in meeting the needs of rural businesses, how the CLA is involved and how members can help in supporting the veterans community.
By signing the Armed Forces Covenant in July 2023, the CLA pledged to:
- Encourage CLA members, as employers, to consider employing veterans of the armed forces
- Disseminate information to CLA members that increases knowledge and leads to a more inclusive relationship with the military community
- Link up with existing national and regional networks that currently support veterans to improve the mental and physical well-being of veterans after they leave the armed forces.
