SSTG Cadets Requesting a Transfer of Company within the SSTG.

Introduction:

This policy applies to Officer Trainees and other individuals following structured training programmes under the auspices of the SSTG.

In usual circumstances it is expected that a trainee, once they are sponsored or directly employed by a Member Company, will complete their training with that company.

From time to time requests are received from trainees to assist them in identifying an alternative Member Company with whom they may complete their training. The following sets out the SSTG policy in this respect:

• When a trainee approaches the SSTG with such a request the SSTG will discuss with the trainee the practical considerations and consequences of their request.
• The SSTG will treat the approach from the trainee in confidence.
• The SSTG will not assist any trainee to identify an alternative sponsoring company or employer whilst they are sponsored or employed by another Member Company. If a trainee resigns from a company they will be advised that, depending on their record whilst under training, an appropriate level of assistance may be offered to find an alternative sponsor or employer. At the same time it will be made clear that no guarantee can be made regarding the possibility of any alternative opportunities being found, or how long the SSTG will continue to actively assist the trainee in trying to identify an alternative sponsor or employer.
