Our veteran employment program creates pathways for ex-service members to find meaningful careers.

Created for veterans

by veterans

Founded to support veterans. Built to deliver skills-based opportunity.

WithYouWithMe was founded in 2015 to address veteran underemployment. Co-founder Tom Moore, an Infantry Platoon Commander who served in Afghanistan, experienced first-hand the challenges many veterans face when transitioning to civilian employment.

Recognising that the military uses aptitude, training and structured development to build capability at speed, WithYouWithMe was created to apply the same principles to civilian careers — identifying potential, developing skills and connecting veterans to meaningful work.

Today, WithYouWithMe is led by CEO Tom Larter, a former Captain in the Australian Army, supported by a team that includes veterans and military spouses. Under his leadership, the organisation continues to build skills-based train, hire and deploy pathways into technology and other high-demand industries — supporting successful transition for individuals while helping organisations access capable, job-ready talent.

How our veteran program works

The first step is to take our online self-paced assessments, which will generate a comprehensive report covering your unique skills, aptitude, preferred learning style and ideal cultural fit.

From there, we’ll recommend some high-demand tech roles you would naturally excel at – and give you access to our free, industry accredited training.

Finally, we have a global network of like-minded partners who are looking to employ veteran talent just like you into their teams – and we’ll guide you through this process.

We’ve placed thousands of veterans into work around the world. Here are some of their stories.

DAVID ATTWOOD
From RAF to Accenture as a PEGA junior developer
It is 100% daunting having to prepare your resume post service to give to employers. My resume was completely based on my experiences as a Royal Airforce (RAF) Specialist. My resume did list my skills, but I found employers wanted relevant work experience.

I lacked the technical expertise I knew I needed to get a job in IT. I was uncertain about finding a job while finding time to and money to pay for training. I was anxious about the future. The WYWM aptitude test showed me my strengths. The test results indicated that a career in low coding would be a great match for my personal skillset. Through the support of WithYouWithMe, I transitioned from my position with the RAF and into a role as a PEGA junior developer for Accenture UK.
GREG HANNIMAN
Canadian Armed Forces EOD to Cyber Security
Greg is a Veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces with leadership and skills that have been leveraged to handle Info-sec threats, construct a Global Security Operations Center, and protect a world-class SaaS company. Greg is effective at preventing cyberattacks on corporate networks. Greg is knowledgeable on future IT trends, developing contingency plans, reviewing suspicious activity, and reporting security breaches. Greg believes that everyone's life experience is different and is passionate about seeking out underrepresented talent by focusing on their potential.
JESS BINGHAM
Australian Army Artillery Bombardier to Systems Architect
I really feel that WYWM gets you ready to enter the industry by training from the basics up. I thought not having any experience it would be a massive blocker, but with WYWM seeing my potential I have been able to find meaningful employment.
JACK PASSMORE
Royal Navy Pilot to Pre Sales Engineer
I was a Royal Navy Pilot. Life was great! I Had a secure job I loved, and a career mapped out that could have taken me up to retirement. I was about to begin training on rotary aircraft before suffering an illness that left me permanently deaf in my left ear. A subsequent medical discharge, which happened within 6 months, meant my plan went out the window and I became incredibly stressed trying to find a new career. When I first heard about WithYouWithMe I was very sceptical. Yet, the more people I spoke to in the company, the more I realised it was a great opportunity that focused on people's potential rather than their experience. I am now thriving as a PreSales Engineer for the Technology and Communications Industry and have never looked back.
PABLO QUINTANA
Ex-RAN now PEGA legend
After leaving the Royal Australian Navy, I found it difficult to adapt to anything new. I went from being a cook in a cafe to a janitor and was even considering working at a fast-food restaurant. None of my skills at the time felt transferable. That changed when I found WithYouWithMe and heard about their partnership with Pega.

I couldn’t believe I’d get paid to learn and upskill in their low-code platform, and then be offered a job at the end of the training straight away, it almost seemed too good to be true.
