In this week’s episode, we sit down with David and Andrew to discuss their unique journeys into tech and their roles at the Home Office. We delve into how they balance their Reservist responsibilities, the initiatives implemented by the Home Office to support ex-force personnel's transition into civil service roles, and their advice for others considering a similar path.
About The Home Office: The Home Office is the lead government department for immigration and passports, drug policy, crime, finance, counterterrorism and police.
They're at the frontline of the government's endeavour to keep UK citizens safe and the country secure. What they do matters.
