Online guide helps build careers that work for you

The military lifestyle of moving every few years can be very disruptive to families and limit spouses’ and partners' potential for professional development. 

The UK Armed Forces Families Strategy 2022–32 highlights that, “Today, dual-earning couples are the norm rather than the exception. Coping with the upheaval of military life is far more difficult when balancing two careers; especially when the career of the service person’s partner or spouse may take precedence.” 

Career Pursuit is designed to help make that balance easier. Since its launch in 2020, it has addressed the conflicting responsibilities and challenges of a military spouse or partner, which can often cause them to put career goals on the back burner. 

This year, Career Pursuit is delighted to also provide career support to veterans and their families as they seek new opportunities. 

The magazine can be found in information offices at military bases across the UK or downloaded online. 

Helen Massy, founder and editor-in-chief of the magazine, said, "There is a wealth of employment and entrepreneur support available to military spouses, partners, and veterans, but it’s challenging to find. Career Pursuit answers that problem by putting resources into one central place.”
