Discover VOW Nigeria

Veterans Opportunity to Work (VOW) is a professional development and employment support initiative created to help retired and transitioning security personnel move successfully into productive civilian and private-sector roles.

Across government security services, many officers spend years developing valuable skills in leadership, operations, investigations, intelligence support, risk management, crisis response, personnel management and public safety.When retirement or transition comes, however, many discover that private-sector security operates within a different professional environment. The private sector requires security professionals to understand modern security technology, corporate communication, customer service, performance management, budgeting, commercial contracts, risk assessment, compliance, reporting and business expectations.

Our initiative provides the bridge between experience gained in public service and the knowledge required to succeed in modern private security. We believe that veterans should not have to begin again from the beginning. They should be supported to understand how their existing experience can be adapted, developed and applied in new professional environments.

Our purpose is therefore to prepare, certify, connect and empower experienced security professionals for their next chapter.

Our Mission

Our mission is to prepare retired and transitioning security personnel for productive careers, entrepreneurship and leadership within the modern private security sector through relevant training, professional certification, mentorship, technology education and employment opportunities. We are committed to helping veterans understand and confidently navigate the differences between government security service and private-sector security practice

Our Vision

Our vision is to become a trusted platform for veteran security transition, professional development and employment, creating a future where experienced security personnel can successfully continue contributing their knowledge, leadership and expertise beyond government service. We seek to build a strong network of trained professionals, responsible employers, security organisations, technology partners, sponsors and mentors working together to strengthen the security profession.
