Episode 9: Veterans – Life After Service

January 26, 2022

What does it mean to serve? For most, a career in a military and what it is to be a soldier are complete unknowns. Deployment conjures up images of courage, of danger, and of endurance.



Yet the resourcefulness and problem-solving skills that the military imparts to its personnel also makes them a resource to civilian industries. A resource that is often under-appreciated and under-utilised by business.



In this episode we speak with two veterans to learn what former soldiers bring to a business. We will understand the obstacles that companies unknowingly put in their way… and what can be done to help businesses benefit from the skillsets of those who have lived a life in uniform.
