Recovery Journey starts at The Oasis
We organised temporary accommodation at Zac's Place and made a warm referral to Open Arms immediately. She also joined in some of the connections activities at Homebase. Later we arranged work experience with a VBA member business, and she is now a manager and very happy.
Transferable Skills Set Up Lifestyle
The education provided by the Oasis to the private sector on the benefits available through employing Defence veterans and their transferable skills has created a more informed decision basis for companies when seeking and engaging employees. Shamrock Civil recognised and seized this opportunity to support our valued Defence community.
Existing Skills, Career Change - Great Outcomes
The Oasis has created opportunities to network with Defence personnel and other businesses that are supportive of transitioning Defence personnel and veterans into the private sector working environment. It was through these networks that Shamrock Civil became aware of Brad and have subsquently employed him.
