It really depends on what industry you're talking about.
I'll narrow it a little to the defence industry. That's growing considerably. They understand the security space quite well. Since so few people serve in the military, it's actually a pretty useful skill. There are a lot of technology companies right now—dual-use companies—that are trying to get into the space and really have no idea what the military does or what capabilities they need. Veterans really understand that space.
In the defence industry, as well, most veterans will understand the compliance requirements you need, such as what kind of security you need internally for your company to keep it safe and in compliance so that it can sell contracts going forward. There are aspects that are quite important for the defence industry holistically.
The veteran community is actually quite diverse. There's a great difference between a general retiring and a master corporal retiring, for example. What I would say, if I focused in holistically on the junior NCOs, for the most part, is that a lot of them are still very young, very motivated, quite creative and typically are trying to get the job done by using quite a bit of initiative. You would usually see those people in a role where they are given a problem that most people would just give up on. They would work through the problem and solve it. A lot of the successful defence veteran-owned businesses in Canada right now are run by ex-sergeants, for example, because they know how to hustle and how to make something out of nothing.
That's not providing a very good answer to your question, but it's a very diverse population. There's a lot of hidden talent in the junior NCO and the senior NCO cohorts.
