Transitions Ep2 – The Truffle Industry

November 12th, 2018 by

Manjimup is the truffle capital of Australia. Two veterans are pursuing careers in the industry; one, establishing a trufferie and the other, working as a truffle dog trainer. Transitions focuses on Australian veterans post-service that have gone on to be successful in their chosen paths.

Far too often the general public perceives veterans as somewhat damaged and war-fatigued, unable to hold down regular jobs or assimilate into regular life. The purpose of these episodes is to shine a light on some of the success stories and show the public that ex-servicemen and women are skilled, professional and highly employable across many fields.

It also serves as a message to veterans that although your military career is a major part of your life, it doesn’t have to define you.
