Workforce retention

Military personnel are the most valuable assets of a defence agency, and their skills, knowledge, and abilities play a critical role in determining the success of military operations. We help to attract and retain skilled personnel within defence by creating future-proof career development pathways and facilitating skill mobility across units.

Filling digital skills gaps

Militaries require the right people at the right time, in the right quantity, and with the right skills. We enable defence departments to identify and address skills gaps with scalable, rapid training programs that build out critical capabilities and make every service member a technologist.

Solutions developed by veterans

WithYouWithMe was founded by veterans who intimately understand the workforce challenges facing defence organisations. Our technology platform was built to align with the military’s approach of identifying individuals with latent potential and training them to become rapidly proficient and ready to deploy in new areas.

National security agencies, armed forces and defence primes around the world are already benefiting from our technology-led approach
