The events also facilitate connection and help organisations to identify opportunities to work together with other groups to meet the needs of the community.

- Veterans SA - General update on current veteran employment data and background.

- Phoenix Australia - A presentation on their research exploring predictors of employment.
- Open Door - Future directions for education and employment.
Presentations will be followed by a networking morning tea, where employment service providers will be available for participants speak to.
This is a free veteran community event, supported by Veterans SA.
