Pathfinder International’s first ever resettlement expo is now only 3 days away.

Held on Thursday November 1 at St James’ Park, Newcastle, the event focuses on an array of elements for service personnel and veterans going through transition in their lives.

We will be highlighting the various elements in our preview of the event, starting today with a look ahead to what training advice is available on the day.

Pathfinder editor, Mal Robinson, explains a little more…

“The expo on Thursday is shaping up to be a great military event.

There is a plethora of training opportunities on offer for the service leaver and veteran and the range is quite diverse.

We have advice from Wagtail UK, who are an approved training provider under the MOD’s ELC scheme and ELC credits can be used to train with these guys as a detection dog handler. Wagtail will even have one of their dogs there on the day, so go and say hello.
