I am proud of the Veterans Employment Program and the excellent work they have been doing to assist veterans searching for employment in New South Wales. The Government, made a commitment in March 2015 to help 200 veterans find meaningful, sustainable employment across the NSW public sector by 2019. Since launching, 824 veterans have either found work or been offered a new role in the public service – far exceeding the Government’s target. The program continues to inform human resource departments and hiring managers across all clusters and improve the understanding of the skills and attributes veterans bring to our Government.
The team is congratulated for winning three Prime Ministers Veterans Employment Awards: Leadership in Recruitment of Veterans (2018) Veterans’ Employer of the Year Public Sector(2018) and Public Sector Excellence in Supporting Veteran Employment (2021) They continue to lead the way in Veterans Employment assisting Federal, State, Local and Non-Government organisations.
