The National Transition Event 2026, Delivered by Mission Motorsport - 2 Mar

The National Transition Event (NTE) returns for its 7th year on 2nd March 2026, set against the iconic backdrop of Silverstone Racetrack and it’s bigger, bolder, and more empowering than ever.

This year’s theme, “NTE – Celebrating our national asset: the UK’s Armed Forces community,” reflects exactly what this event stands for: recognising your value and supporting you to find THE job, not just a job.

Whether you’re just starting your resettlement journey or you’re a seasoned veteran already exploring your next move, NTE is designed to give you a clear, honest, and objective view of the civilian workplace and the communities that support it. Our aim is simple: to leave you feeling empowered, informed, and confident about your future.

Delivered by Mission Motorsport in association with Mission Community, NTE brings together over 1,900 participants, including Service Leavers, Veterans, Reservists, Cadets (16+), family members, employers, Armed Forces charities, and key decision-makers. You’ll have direct access to organisations such as the Ministry of Defence, Office for Veterans’ Affairs, Gold Alumni Association, and dozens of service charities, all in one place, on one powerful day.

Update from GOV.UK: Digital version of Veteran Card launched for quicker and easier access to support

Nearly 2 million veterans can now get and benefit from a digital version of the Veteran Card, which will make it easier and quicker to access key services and discounts via their smartphones.

From today, Friday 17 October, it will give veterans a seamless way to confirm their status in person and will include information already featured on their physical card - displaying their name, photo, latest service, and date of birth with the security features that protect their personal information.

Veterans can now apply for and download a digital version of the Veteran Card on their smartphone.
From registering with GPs to housing support and discounted entry to museums, the card will ensure veterans can access services quickly and easily online.
Part of the blueprint for modern digital government, as government makes public services simpler and more accessible so they work around people’s lives as part of the Plan for Change.
