Military Rewards Charity in Profile: Soldier On
Soldier On had their March On campaign last month in which we were proud to have many staff participate in. Our staff were challenged to walk the length of the Kokoda Trail (96kms) during the month of March, raising over $14,500 for veterans and their families.
One of the many worthy veterans that Soldier On supports, with funds raised from the March On campaign is, Jason who had a 4-year career in the Australian Army starting at the age of 17. Jason had his career in the Army come to an end as he was medically discharged from service.
Post service, Jason worked in several sectors while he searched for his true career purpose. It was then that Jason reached out to Soldier On. Soldier On provides veterans and family members with practical career and job search assistance. From updating resumes, upskilling, and interview preparation, the Pathways team help enable veterans and family members to find and secure meaningful future employment opportunities.
Jason is now a member of the Soldier On Pathways team in a role which will help enable other veterans and their families to secure their future careers. “Through the guidance of the Soldier On Pathways team, I found that my passion actually lies with helping other people in the same position as me,” Jason said.
