Raytheon Australia signed the Soldier On Platinum Pledge, marking its sixth year of support.

Raytheon Australia signed Soldier On’s 2021 Platinum Pledge, marking the sixth consecutive year that Raytheon Australia took Soldier On’s pledge.

By signing the pledge, Raytheon has agreed to maintain its commitment to Australia’s veteran community by learning more about the broad talents offered by former Australian defence personnel and their families, and how these talents can help their business.

 
 

Michael Ward, managing director of Raytheon Australia, said that the company was honoured to maintain its relationship with Soldier On.

“Raytheon Australia is committed to supporting our veterans and we are pleased to have been able to sign the Soldier On Pledge once again. Through our continued partnership with Soldier On, we are able to give back to the military community and assist veterans in transitioning into new career pathways,” he said.

Ivan Slavich, CEO of Soldier On, expressed his gratitude to Raytheon Australia for its ongoing support as pledge partners.

“The Soldier On Pathways Program works to provide employment opportunities to veterans and their families, enabling them to thrive. For every organisation that signs the Soldier On Pledge, we are one step closer to enabling more veterans and their families to secure their future,” Slavich said.

“Soldier On is incredibly grateful for Raytheon Australia’s ongoing support. Through signing the Pledge, Raytheon Australian acknowledges the diverse skillsets that our veterans acquire during their time with the Australian Defence Force and the value that these skillsets hold.”
