Patch App team with Burnley FC for military veterans scheme – Telegraph and Argus

The Armed Forces Business Academy will train ex-forces service men and women to operate their own home maintenance businesses.

It aims to turn 119 ex-Forces employees into business owners in the first 5 years. The Academy is the first of its kind in the UK.

As part of the Academy, Community & Business Partners CIC will provide Veterans with two years of business mentoring and training. For the first 12 months, they will have meaningful employment and training with Patch, and then they will take on that part of the business and operate it themselves. Burnley Football Club in the Community, who have a strong Military Veterans programme, will be the recruitment partner.
