Course outline:
For serving personnel and veterans, the question of ‘what next?’ can be daunting. At first glance, a service career and boarding education might appear worlds apart. But look more closely and the parallels are striking: residential communities, high expectations of personal conduct, strong pastoral responsibility and leadership exercised through daily presence.
Your experience is not just relevant, it is actively sought. As a result, over the past few years, a growing number of veterans have moved into education, particularly boarding, and there is increasing recognition of the crossover between the sectors. There are also non-teaching opportunities that do not require degrees.
Join Mark Mortimer, Director of Defence & Military Services, Boarding Schools’ Association (BSA) to find out more. Mark is an ex-Infantry Officer and has served as Head at three leading boarding schools.
