On October 12, Minister Matt Keogh, Minister for Veterans' Affairs, officially opened the WA office in Osborne Park, Perth, beginning new phase of Penten capability development.
During the visit, Penten also had the opportunity to discuss their commitment to Veteran recruitment, and the importance placed on creating an environment for Veterans to thrive by providing opportunities to grow and continue to participate in a high performing environment.
“Penten understands the value of purpose and seeks to create an environment for Veterans to continue to apply their skills, drive and ability to learn to the defence and national security mission.” said Penten CEO Matthew Wilson.
“Veterans are highly trained and highly adaptable. The diversity of thought and experience they bring allows us to tackle the capability needs of the ADF now and into the future."
“Veterans are a highly skilled workforce for the skills crisis we’re encountering across the country," Minister Keogh said.
“We know that one of the greatest indicators of a successful transition from the Defence Force into civilian life is a new career and meaningful employment with purpose.
“I commend Penten for their commitment to veterans’ employment, continuing contribution to our sovereign capability and congratulate them on the expansion of the business with their new office in Perth."
