Research conducted by the IER, supported by defence technology company QinetiQ and X-Forces Enterprise (XFE) and funded by Forces in Mind Trust, was carried out to understand what more could be done to support ex-Service personnel to successfully move into self-employment. The report was launched on 10th October at the X-Forces Enterprise 5th Anniversary event at the London Stock Exchange.</p> <p>More info can be found <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/pressreleases/new_research_highlights">here</a> and a copy of the report, co-authored by IER's <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/ier/people/clare">Professor Clare Lyonette</a>, <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/ier/people/sabarnes">Dr Sally-Anne Barnes</a> and <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/ier/people/dowen">Dr David Owen</a> , Natalie Fisher and Karen Newell (both QinetiQ), Ren Kapur MBE and Martin Wing (both X-Forces Enterprise) can be viewed <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/ier/research/fimt/final_report_ier_20181008.pdf">here</a>.</p> military self-employed Sat, 15 Dec 2018 19:06:00 GMT 8a17841b67ad221b0167b343764133b5
