Professional Employment Services
The aim of PEAP is to assist you in getting out there in to the employment market in order to gain a meaningful employment opportunity, following a relocation.
The Defence Community Organisation (DCO) provides funding to assist recognised ADF partners with employability after posting to a new location, through the provision of funding for professional employment services. Applications must be lodged no later than 24 months following the member's posting effective date. PEAP funding can be requested at each new posting location. Whilst we are in no way affiliated with DCO and on the same note, DCO cannot endorse providers for employment assistance; at your request, we could be your Professional Employment Services provider of choice for the PEAP through DCO.
By providing you with workshops, presentations and coaching, focusing on resume development, interview skills and career planning, we will give you all of the tools that you need to put your best foot forward when you are seeking your next employment opportunity.
