Call of Duty Endowment, the charity initiative that aims to help support real military veterans, has set itself a new goal to help 100,000 ex-armed forces personnel find new jobs for civilian life by 2024.

The Endowment scheme was originally set up in 2009 with the aim of finding new jobs for 25,000 ex-servicemen and women by 2018. Ten years on, that original goal has been surpassed - more than 57,000 veterans have been helped - and the aim is now to secure positions for 100,000 people.

The Call of Duty Endowment is committed to helping former UK and U.S. military personnel secure the meaningful careers they deserve.

Army veterans have more skills on offer than just those portrayed in the Call of Duty videogames, and these can be transferred into highly successful civilian roles. Call of Duty Endowment reports that the average starting salary for its veterans is 1.9x greater than the UK national average.

A new video, called Changing Perspectives, has been released to help drive support for the new goal.

With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare chasing a more realistic depiction of warfare, it’s always good to see Activision remembering the challenging realities of those in the Armed Forces.
