Having been the recent Commander of the 7th Brigade, I realise the importance of assisting Defence personnel with and during transition. They have so many skills and attributes which are often misunderstood by Hiring Managers and taken for granted by the members themselves.
NSW Government Veterans’ Employment Program (VEP) is to be congratulated for their excellent achievement during the Centenary of Anzac. Assisting 824 veterans to find work, or be offered a new role in the NSW public sector, is a mammoth achievement.
I am pleased to see the VEP has been extended for a further four years with a new target of helping an additional 1000 veterans to find work by 2023. This is a fantastic program and I encourage all veterans to have a look at the VEP website and use the tools and information to their advantage.
