Great to see plenty of Service Leavers and a host of employers at the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) Employment Fair at Murrayfield this week. I spoke with a number of employers looking to hire ex military people including NESO, because they recognise the valuable skills and attributes that veterans bring to the workplace. A number of support organisations such as Housing Options Scotland and SSAFA were also on hand to offer advice. It was also a pleasure to catch up with the CTP team for an update.

I visited the Pearce Institute in Govan yesterday for a constructive programme of meetings, beginning with discussions with veterans and the management team at Community Veterans Support. I then met with Dr Liz Cameron CBE at the offices of Glasgow's Helping Heroes, where we heard from the team and had a positive and informative discussion on approaches to supporting small and medium sized enterprises in Scotland to employ veterans. The visit also provided an opportunity to hear more about GHH's future plans, including its role as Scotland's first VALOUR Recognised Centre.
