I would like to take this opportunity to express my support for the New South Wales Government’s Veterans Employment Program.
Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel receive extensive training and experiences which produces men and women who are uniquely skilled and highly competent. Despite this fact, there remains an inaccurate perception that ADF members’ skills are not easily transferable to the civilian sector.
Your education campaign will surely drive a subtle yet significant shift in recruiting practices to ensure military people are not disadvantaged when applying for roles within the New South Wales Government.
I believe the Veterans Employment Program will be highly beneficial to both veterans and employers alike, and fully encourage the outcomes it seeks to deliver.
