PLT Training Ltd is committed and proud to support all members of the Armed Forces community on their journey into civilian employment.
Our journey
In 2019, PLT Training Ltd signed the Armed Forces Covenant.
The Armed Forces Covenant is the nation’s commitment to those who proudly protect our nation, doing so with honour, courage & commitment. It’s a pledge that together we acknowledge & understand that those who serve, or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness & respect in the communities, economy & society they serve with their lives.
In 2022, our Operations Director took on the role of Armed Forces Ambassador and nominated us for an award. In early 2023, we achieved bronze member status in the Employer Recognition Scheme. Cut forward 10 months and we have worked ceaselessly towards not just fulfilling but going above and beyond our responsibilities as a Covenant member. We employ 4 veterans, we have engaged with the military community by way of discounted or free training, fundraisers, and support. We have developed a policy that is primarily concerned with the mobilisation of reserve forces but also pledges to support Veterans, cadets, partners, spouses, and family members of reservists during times of deployment, injury, or bereavement. We offer an extra 10 days paid leave to reservists to assist with meeting their training obligations throughout the year.
Our mission
With all of this in mind, we hope that early 2024 will see us achieve silver member status. We won’t be stopping there though! We’ll be working with a group of cadets, then developing and hosting group meetings for Veteran’s mental Health. We’ll be advocating heavily on behalf of the Armed Forces Covenant and encouraging those in our supply chain to sign the Covenant, just as we did.
We fully appreciate what value you get when you employ ex-military personnel and their spouses. You may already have ex-military staff within your company, but if you’re considering advertising for a role, please look deep into the CV for the raft of skills that sometimes are harder to translate.
If you take the chance on a veteran or reservist, this is a taster of what you will get in return:
Discipline
Respect
Integrity
Honesty
Loyalty
Reliability
Tenacity
Flexibility
Agility
- Ability to communicate at all levels, upwards and downwards, clearly and concisely.
- Someone who can operate with ease across varied, multi-national stakeholders or different cultures and backgrounds.
- Someone who is used to different surroundings, and having those surroundings change every few months or years
- Someone who can quickly assimilate themselves into a new team, see the big picture, stay calm in stressful situations, lead and be led.
- Basically, a team player who you can trust to get the job done with minimum oversight, to the highest standard.
- Employing a veteran who might not tick all the experience boxes in the job description is something you will not regret

We recruit from a diverse range of backgrounds such as ambulance services, the public sector as well as manufacturing and construction industries and of course, the armed forces.
