Between 2010-11 and 2013-14 the following percentage of eligible personnel have participated in the CRP:

2010-11 – 76%

2011-12 – 74%

2012-13 – 74%

Some of the personnel eligible for the CRP may choose to use the Employment Support Programme instead.

Figures presented for 2013-14 are provisional as personnel can receive Careers Transition Partnership resettlement services up to two years before and after leaving the UK Armed Forces. Figures are revised annually in the Official Statistic publication with figures being fixed after two years.
