Group to help soldiers in life after the Army
REPRESENTATIVES from the oil and gas industry visited Colchester Garrison to help soon to be ex-soldiers find new careers.
Skills organisation OPITO was at the Garrison on Wednesday.
The programme, which began last year, focuses on recruiting skilled engineers and technicians for on-shore and off-shore projects.
OPITO representatives have also visited garrisons in Rosyth, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Tidworth and Cottesmore.
