The Mobile ADF Careers Centre (MACC) has visited Geelong to inform people about potential careers in the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
The MACC bus came to Geelong on Friday, October 20, and concluded its tour of the region on Tuesday, October 24, with a visit to the Geelong Grammar School.
Australian Army Captain and Defence regional senior recruitment officer Jayden Soldati said the information bus had been well-received by the community and had “tremendous success” at the Royal Geelong Show from October 21 to 22.
“The MACC help best engage with candidates and show them what a life in the ADF would be like,” he said.
“We got to have a lot of meaningful conversations and we invited all those a part of the recruitment process already in our region to come and engage with a defence member face to face.”
Captain Soldati said the MACC was looking to evolve continually to ensure it was the most effective and efficient utility available to provide people with necessary information.
“We want to spend some time in these regional areas to pass on knowledge to these kids and people of Australia that there’s many opportunities in defence,” he said.
“Even if people don’t decide to join with us and have a conversation with us, they are now better for it as they know a bit more about what the Australian Defence Force is doing for them.”
The MACC also visited Oberon High School and Mathew Flinders Girls Secondary College on Monday, October 23, to show students what a career in the ADF would be like.
More information on careers in the ADF is available at adfcareers.gov.au or by calling 13 19 01.
